I think we have found the most electric moment of the playoffs so far. With his team trailing two games to nothing to the red-hot Phillies, Ketel Marte stepped up in the biggest moment of the Diamondbacks season, lacing a one-out, bases-loaded single off closer Craig Kimbrel to walk off Arizona’s first win of the NLCS. It’s the first walk-off of the 2023 MLB Postseason and ensures that the Diamondbacks will get to play the full three games in front of their home fans at Chase Field.
After being thoroughly outclassed by their opponents in the first two games of the series, the Diamondbacks had to have yesterday circled on their calendars as their best chance at victory in the first three games.
