Whether the Diamondbacks make it back to the postseason for a second consecutive year remains to be seen, but they are following the lead of last year’s team in at least one meaningful way. They are beating up on the bad teams.
By beating the Miami Marlins 6-2 on Saturday night, the Diamondbacks won for the second consecutive night and for the fourth time in five games on a homestand that also included the lowly Cincinnati Reds. The Diamondbacks will go for a sweep of the gutted Marlins on Sunday afternoon.
With Saturday’s win, the Diamondbacks improved to 18-11 (.
