Picking up 53% of the votes, the longest regular season game of the year in the major leagues proved to be the best of the front 162 for the Diamondbacks. It was part of a fierce battle for the last NL wild-card spot. Going into play, the D-backs were tied with the Reds, half a game ahead of the Marlins, and 1.5 back of the Cubs. So every contest mattered, going into the Saturday night contest at Chase Field, in front of a crowd of 35,193. Zach Davies started for Arizona, and Kyle Hendricks for Chicago, and they traded zeroes for the first three innings.
