This wasn’t a game where the starting pitching was dominant. Nor was it a game where the offense out-slugged the opposition: indeed, the Diamondbacks were outhit by the Marlins, 9-7. It was, however, probably the first game I can remember where the Arizona defense proved key. Which is particularly odd, considering the first hitter of the game reached base on a D-backs error.
That was former Diamondback Jazz Chisholm, who got on board courtesy of catcher’s interference. It's the major-league leading third time that has happened against Arizona this year, and already matches their tally for all of 2021.
