Following up on a massive complete game shutout yesterday the Arizona Diamondbacks needed extra innings to get the job done today in a pivotal matchup against the Chicago Cubs. Because they face the Chicago Cubs seven times this month, the team currently directly ahead of them in the Wild Card race, they more or less hold their playoff hopes in their own hands. For as dismal as the month of July was, the Diamondbacks are undoubtedly getting the job done now when it counts. Mark Grace was also inducted into the Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame commemorating his outstanding career there before he came to the desert to win a World Series Championship in 2001.
