PHOENIX -- D-backs catcher Jeff Mathis received a great early Father's Day gift.
Mathis and his wife welcomed their daughter, Sloane, into the world on Sunday. She is their second child.
"I knew what to expect second time around," he said. "First time, I didn't know anything about it. It helped a little bit that I had been through it once, but it was still amazing, awesome, exciting."
Mathis left Colorado, where the D-backs were playing, late on Saturday night because his wife was admitted into the hospital.
