Now back at .500 and looking to get above that mark for the first time since April 4th, the Diamondbacks welcomed the Atlanta Braves into the valley for a 4 game set and the start to the final homestand before next week’s All Star Break in Texas.
Mondays Game 1 heartbreaker of a loss due to another blown Paul Sewald save left a sour taste in all Snakes fans mouths, but that didn’t mean that the fellas couldn’t still talk about Yilber Diaz and his impressive debut. Diaz’ 6 Innings of 1 Run ball against a Braves lineup was something that this rotation desperately needed (and still needs) and Yilbers performance couldn’t have come at a better time.
