Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 2: No blow-out? No problem!

Of all the places I’ve recapped baseball games, this one has to be among the most unique. Well before the playoffs, Mrs. SnakePit arranged a trip to visit the SnakePitette at her home in Greenville, South Carolina - the home town of Shoeless Joe Jackson. You might think I’d have learned my lesson, having missed attending the 2017 wild-card game at Chase Field in person, because of a similarly pre-arranged trip to Las Vegas. But you pick your battles where you can. I did manage to talk Mrs. S out of going during World Series week, so this was a compromise.
