As the Arizona Diamondbacks go for their first series win of the 2016 season against the San Diego Padres tonight, history could be in the making as well.
The primary focus on the mind of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the fans might be collecting back-to-back victories and the first series win of 2016 (0-3-0 coming in), but the Diamondbacks are also chasing a milestone in the franchise’s history, something that most are probably not aware of.
Luckily, this post is here to enlighten you. Last night, Brad Ziegler collected his 30th consecutive save on a typical double play ball, an ongoing club record to secure the victory, but Welington Castillo had an important at bat launching his first home run of the 2016 campaign, a towering shot to left field in the second, to give the D-backs the lead 1-0.
