Game Summary For much of tonight’s game, the D-backs seemed to have forgotten to grab their bats off the bus from Pittsburgh. Fortunately, the pitching staff, led by 5 good enough innings from Mitch Bratt, kept the game close and gave the offense a chance until the end. Going into the 8th inning, the Diamondbacks […]
