D-backs Sweep Rockies, Stay Alive Another Day in NL Wild Card Race (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For the first time since 2018, the Diamondbacks swept the Rockies at Coors Field, and it couldn't have come at a better time. The offense jumped out to a big early lead, Eduardo Rodriguez delivered a quality start in his final start of the year and the bullpen (barely) held on. Where does the win leave them in the NL Wild Card race? Do they really have a shot to catch the Phillies or Padres this weekend in San Diego?

Just as we all expected, Pavin Smith delivered a pinch-hit, walk-off home run against the Yankees on Saturday night to lead the Diamondbacks to a much-needed win and keep their dwindling postseason hopes alive. We discuss Smith's huge swing, and the many smaller wins throughout the game that helped set the table for it, including an enormous two-run triple from Jordan Lawlar in the fifth inning. Where does the win leave the D-backs in the postseason race? Do they now have a better chance of catc

For the second straight night, the Diamondbacks could not get the big hit against the Miami Marlins. How slim are their playoff chances following the series loss?

We also discuss several big moments from the game, from stranding the bases loaded in the first inning to Jordan Lawlar being cut down at second to end the game.
