LOS ANGELES -- It was just a single to right field in the sixth inning of a game the D-backs were losing 5-0 and would go on to drop 8-0 on Friday night. So some would say it was a meaningless hit.
But it was really much more than that.
It was the first career hit for D-backs outfielder Danny Dorn, who spent nine-plus seasons working his way through the Minor Leagues to earn it, and it came in front of his entire family.
"It just made it extra special to do it with them all here," Dorn said.
