D-backs 4, Pirates 3: Olympic-level tenacity

If the Diamondbacks do end up making the playoffs this year, we may end up looking back at this game as crucial in that process. Arizona fell three runs behind by the middle of the second inning, with erstwhile ace Zac Gallen threatening to lay the latest in a series of underwhelming starts. But somehow, the team buckled down. The offense chipped away. Gallen settled down. Arizona tied the game, then looked to have spurned their chance. But a fortuitous wild-pitch worked wonders and the bullpen held firm, not without their share of drama.

Yes, there have been bigger wins this year.
