PHOENIX — Baseball is a game of whirlwind emotions, and Arizona Diamondbacks fans know that feeling all too well after its walk-off victory against the Milwaukee Brewers, 5-4.
The game didn’t start well for the Diamondbacks. They trailed early on and could never get the offense to get going. Even with opportunities with runners in scoring position, none were cashed in. Some fans were already throwing the towel, exasperated with the lack of offense and nearly being shut out for a second game in a row, 0-4.
Second double-play in three innings.
Last night the #Dbacks hit into doubles plays in both the first and second innings.

The #Dbacks last XBH came in the 8th inning of Wednesday’s game against Baltimore.
A span of 11.2 innings.
Coincidentally, the Arizona offense doesn’t have a run since then.

Do the Arizona Diamondbacks all of a sudden have the worst lineup in baseball? This team is pathetic.

Everything started to change rapidly in the bottom of the 9th inning. With key hits by Alek Thomas, Corbin Carroll, and Jake McCarthy, the Snakes were able to tie the game 4-4. After Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill intentionally walked Josh Naylor to load the bases with one out, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. would come up to the plate and hit a sac fly to get the winning run in. The Diamondbacks, losing 0-4, would score five runs to win it all. The fan feeling was all over the place, many not believing what just happened.
That’s the most frustrating win ever. lol.
