It has been a very up and down first half of the 2019 campaign for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Some weeks, they have looked completely wretched. But at other times, they have seemed almost unstoppable. The reality, of course, is almost certainly somewhere in the middle. But the team did at least go into the break on a high not. Alex Young, making only his third major-league appearance, pitched a no-hitter, albeit being removed after six innings for pitch count reasons. And a four-run sixth inning allowed Arizona to complete a much-needed sweep of Colorado and finish that first half with a winning record - albeit, only just.
