Record: 92-67. Pace: 94-68. Change on 2016:
If the MLB draft was right now, the San Francisco Giants would have the first pick. And through eight innings, it looked like the Diamondbacks would finish the 2016 regular season by dropping two out of three at home, to those Giants. Scheduled starter Zack Greinke had his start pushed back to Friday in Kansas City (which lines him up to pitch the wild-card game on regular rest). Instead, Braden Shipley made his first start since an outing for the Reno Aces in Las Vegas on August 26.
