The rookies came up huge on Friday night and were supported by the veteran presence of Asdrúbal Cabrera as the Diamondbacks came away unlikely winners against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Diamondbacks made only one trade deadline deal. That didn’t stop the team from needing to make six moves to fill out the roster as Stuart Fairchild, Noé Ramirez, Joe Mantiply, Riley Smith and Pavin Smith all headed to the COVID-IL. Drew Ellis was called up to replace Eduardo Escobar. Reno Aces’ closer, Miguel Aguilar was called up as one of the fill-in bullpen arms. Both of them played key parts in the Snakes eventual victory, as did Josh VanMeter, booting balls at second while hitting lead-off.
