Diamondbacks News:
Re-cap: The Diamondbacks ran wild all over the Dodger’s rookie pitcher to take game 3 and the series win against Dodger evil. Taylor Clarke pitched though 5 innings only allowing 2 runs. Jarrod Dyson now leads MLB in stolen bases with 19 taken on 21 attempts.
Can the D-backs be more than perfectly mediocre this season?
“We’ve had some really hot moments and some really cold moments,” manager Torey Lovullo said after Wednesday’s 8-2 victory over the Dodgers. “Maybe that’s some of our youthfulness, I don’t know. Every once in awhile, things linger longer than I like.”
