PHOENIX -- Right-hander Braden Shipley was celebrating the Reno Aces' 10-1 win on Friday night with his teammates, complete with music blaring in the clubhouse. He then got dinner and sat down to eat.
That's when he received the news that he'd be joining the D-backs on Saturday.
"I was just thrilled," Shipley said before Saturday's game against the Astros. "Called my wife and she was crying because she was so happy. It's been tough because she's been [in Phoenix] all year, whereas in years past, she's been with me all year.
