It’s my first recap in the Friday slot, and the D-backs are in the thick of the playoff chase. The Diamondbacks entered play tonight, their first game in August, in the third and final Wild Card position. They held a 2.5 game lead over the Buccos of Pittsburgh, who rebounded from their series loss to the Snakes last weekend with a series win over the Astros in Houston. Who would win the opening salvo in this important battle in the NL Wild Card standings?
Corbin opened up with a rope down the right field line and motored to third with what appeared to be a leadoff triple!
