Record: 43-26. Pace: 101-61. Change on 2016: +13.
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies ended up in a rain delay for 40 minutes, starting at 1:50pm instead of 1:10pm, where the 2-1 Zack Godley faced off against the 0-7 Jerad Eickhoff (he of the 5.09 ERA). Rain would show up on and off throughout the day, and little did we know the pitcher’s duel we would witness progress at a snail’s pace. It was a wet, muggy, gross day in Philly, so basically the exact opposite of us here baking away in Phoenix.
