Diamondbacks News
The Arizona Diamondbacks pulled off an electrifying comeback win against the Chicago Cubs, highlighted by Ryan Waldschmidt's dramatic pinch-hit, two-run homer, securing their 40th comeback victory of the season with a final score of 5-4. This was a much-needed morale booster after the D-backs' dismal 7-0 loss just a day earlier, a game riddled with controversy over perceived pitch-tipping that led manager Torey Lovullo to apologize to Cubs' skipper Craig Counsell. While the win puts Arizona back in playoff contention, the team still struggles with consistency, having just weathered a rough stretch of 3-4 with a -16 run differential in the last week. The Diamondbacks need to build on this momentum and tighten their pitching if they want to sustain their wildcard chase.
