ATLANTA -- Make no mistake about it -- the D-backs were in desperate need of a savior on the mound coming into Braves country at SunTrust Park in the club's last series before the All-Star break.
But that savior didn't come in the form of one man, it came as the entire D-backs pitching staff. From starters to relievers, the Arizona pitchers came to Atlanta ready to reload from a tedious week.
To say the D-backs' pitching staff was gassed coming into the weekend's series with the Braves would be an understatement.
