In the middle of the eighth inning, this was looking like nothing more significant than another dispiriting loss, as the D-backs trailed 7-2. Okay, so in the end, it ended up being... another dispiriting loss. But at least it was another dispiriting loss of historic proportions, apparently being the first game in National League history where both teams hit six home-runs. Think about that. It’s the 144th season of NL baseball. There have been over a hundred thousand National League games played. And those watching tonight got to see something which had never been done before in the league’s history.
