Record; 62-84. Pace: 69-93. Change on 2015: -7.
After a series against the Rockies which felt like it was a Peter Jackson adaptation of an undiscovered Tolkien work, tonight’s contest was Gravity in comparison, coming in at a brisk 2:39. It was the quickest Diamondbacks win at Chase Field since June 11. There has only been one shorter game over that time, and it was the 13-0 mauling by Cincinnati on August 27, which somehow managed to take 2:32, but still felt five hours long. Tonight’s was much more pleasant, and there was something particularly karmic about it, for reasons we’ll get to shortly.
