PHOENIX -- Calling it a "true team moment," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo had nothing but praise for outfielder/designated hitter Tommy Pham after the veteran offered to give up his final at-bat in Game 2 of the World Series on Saturday in order for teammate Jace Peterson to get a turn at the plate vs. the Rangers.
"He came to me and he said, 'I need to you get my boy an (at-bat),'" Lovullo recalled on Sunday. "And I said, 'Are you sure? 100 percent sure?'"
He was, and so with the Diamondbacks leading, 7-1, in the ninth inning, Peterson pinch-hit for Pham, who already had four hits in the game.
