If there was ever a low point in this season, perhaps in recent memory, for the Arizona Diamondbacks, mark Wednesday August 24, 2016 on your history calendar.
This was the day which a significant weakness was duly exposed. The bullpen has been a source of contention all season, and on Wednesday, the meltdown seemed complete. Unable to hold a five run in the eighth, the bullpen surrendered a single run in the eight. Then, Enrique Burgos self-imploded and served as the principal catalyst for a four-run ninth from the visiting Atlanta Braves. That tied the score, but Brandan Drury’s sacrifice fly in the 11th scored Jake Lamb with the winning run in a 10-9 victory over Atlanta before 15,376 in Chase Field.
