Quotes of the Day
"It's great. As we've discussed before, being on the disabled list for half the season and being able to come out there and produce for your team and get a win for them, it does something mentally for me. I'm glad we got the win out of it."
- Adam Eaton on his walk-off home run.
"I'm not sure what happened -- I just blacked out. I thought I hit a heater and found out later it was a slider."
Diamondbacks' News
Eaton's walk-off homer gives D-backs needed win
Put this one on the short list for game of the year. After trailing through most of the front seven, and enduring uncharacteristically sloppy defense, the Diamondbacks found themselves with a 1-run lead heading into the 8th. Joe Thatcher promptly blew that lead. Undaunted, the Diamondbacks struck back in their half of the eighth, going up one run on Wil Nieves' solo home run. Then it was Brad Ziegler's turn to blow the lead in the 9th. But the Diamondbacks would again comeback, winning the game on Adam Eaton's walk off home run into the pool in right-center.
Adam Eaton’s playing time; farm report; & other stuff | Insiders

Trevor Cahill's performance before hitting the DL makes this bit of news more "meh" than "good" from a team performance perspective. However, it's good to see the embattled righty getting healthy nonetheless.
