Dbacks Game Five a Microcosm of Entire Season
Many weaknesses, many strengths came into play in the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 10th inning victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, a victory that sends the Brewers to the National League Championship Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Before I go any further though, congrats to the Milwaukee Brewers. It ended up being a good series which included a great game five.
The Dbacks had a little of everything we saw throughout the season.
This game saw:
Good pitching from Ian Kennedy
Good opponent pitching
Great outfield defense from Chris Young (which deserves mention as play of the year)
A Justin Upton home run
Several balls just missing home runs (we saw A LOT of those this season)
Give up a lead
Come back to tie game thanks to a Willie Bloomquist safety squeeze. Pure Gibby Ball in action.
Great relief from David Hernandez
Unable to bring runners in to score on golden opportunities, which was the eventual downfall of the Dbacks in game five
