The Arizona Diamondbacks are hitting their stride as the 2017 season and playoff chase enters the stretch run.
Arizona defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday 3-1 to clinch its 13th straight victory. The team announced it was a franchise record on its Twitter page:

It is a testament to Los Angeles' early dominance in the National League West that a 13-game winning streak and three straight head-to-head victories for the Diamondbacks moved the division lead to a still head-turning 10.
