Record: 29-30. Pace: 80-82. Change on 2018: -2.
Around nine o’clock tonight, with the D-backs 4-0 down and being dominated by Jacob deGrom, I was thinking, “Well, at least it’ll be a quick game. Probably over around 9:30, I’ll get the recap knocked out by 10, and we’ll have time to watch something.” But the D-backs clawed their way back into this, took it to the Mets bullpen, and forced extras. There, Kevin “I only hit for extra bases” Cron led things off in the 11th inning with a double, was bunted to third, and Tim Locastro knocked one over the five-man infield for the first walk-off hit of his career.
