This game was actually the closest of the series, though it was rarely in doubt as the D-backs broke out early in the game. Ketel Marte hit a ball to triples alley, but it cleared the deep fence easily and majestically. That was a bomb. The Diamondbacks scored 34 runs this series. 34! A nice response after getting swept by SD the series before and dropping to .500 at the time.
