After a 4-2 win over the Cubs on a national broadcast night, Scott Servais opened his postgame presser with a strong statement:
“That’s our signature game.”
He meant that in the general sense—the combination of strong pitching and timely hits—not this particular game, but in many ways, tonight’s win does feel like it could be a signature on the young 2024 season. This is how this team was supposed to be built, the team that showed up in the back half of the Cactus League, putting pressure on opposing pitchers with the starting pitching holding back opposing offenses.
