To this point of the season, it’s been one step forward and two steps back for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The season began with a preseason ranking as the number one in the nation and all indications were that the ranking was well deserved.

Coming off an improbable season a year ago which included a National League West title, 94 regular season wins and a trip to the NL Division Series, nobody would have expected Kirk Gibson’s Arizona Diamondbacks to be 20-25, near the bottom of the division and 10.5 games behind the Dodgers in late May.
It is not often that an 8th seed in a double elimination tournament makes it all the way to the championship game unscathed.
