It has been a while since the last time I got to recap a win for the Diamondbacks on Monday. It was so long ago [Chorus: “How long was it?”], that it came on a walk-off home-run by Pavin Smith. That was June 3, when they beat the Giants 4-2 at Chase. It’s not quite as bad a stat as that sounds, because the vagaries of the schedule mean there haven’t been very many Monday games for me to cover. Indeed, that victory was the only such game for the D-backs in June. But July saw a 5-4 loss to the Braves on the 11th, and tonight’s defeat in Kansas City runs the D-backs’ record - and mine - on Mondays this season to an ugly 2-8 mark.
