Nice win, glad to see we are back in first place. Rockies lost so we are 1 1/2 games ahead of them. Big series now in SanFrancisco.

Thank You Paul!
As a marlins fan I'm actually kind of OK with this result...........

On a side note I don't usually like these names they come up for the players using their first 3 letters in their first name and the first 3 in their last name, but MADBUM is a classic name. I was puzzled why Carlos Gonzales was called CARGO instead of CARGON but maybe it could be considered a racist name to call a hispanic. I know that is not PC, but it crossed my mind and I am old enough I don't give a crap if it offends someone. It is just a simple observation.

Diamondbacks' Matt Koch: Bounces back with strong start
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Koch (4-3) picked up the win against the Marlins on Sunday, scattering three hits over seven strong innings without allowing a run, striking out six and walking none as the Diamondbacks prevailed 6-1.
Koch was knocked around for five runs on 11 hits in his last start against the Reds, but he bounced back nicely with this seven-inning shutout of Miami to bag his fourth win of the season. He's posted solid numbers since taking over the rotation spot for Taijuan Walker with a 3.76 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 55 innings, and he seems to have secured the role with Walker out for the season due to Tommy John surgery. His 31:13 K:BB isn't eye-popping, but Koch holds some streaming appeal based on how he's pitched so far, particularly in favorable matchups.

Diamondbacks' David Peralta: Homers again against Marlins
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Peralta went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Arizona's 6-1 victory over Miami on Sunday.
That's now three straight games with a long ball for the 30-year-old outfielder, who has come back to life after he had fallen into a slump following a hot start to the season. His OPS now sits at an even .800 through 202 at-bats, and he's been a decent source of power, as he now has 10 homers on the season after this recent binge.

Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Smacks two hits, adds steal Sunday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs and a stolen base in the Diamondbacks' 6-1 win over the Marlins on Sunday.
Ahmed has delivered three two-hit performances over his last eight games, but he has mostly been invisible in the other five contests, going 1-for-17. The shortstop's conscious effort to adjust his swing and sell out for power has already aided him to a career-high eight home runs, but the change has been detrimental to his batting average. He's hitting just .210 for the season, with a spike in his flyball rate contributing to a .231 BABIP that's 25 points below his career mark.

I know you wrote this tongue in cheek, but shouldn't it be more a case of what sounds better (and classier) than a hard and fast rule about about how many letters from the first name and how many from the last name?On a side note I don't usually like these names they come up for the players using their first 3 letters in their first name and the first 3 in their last name, but MADBUM is a classic name. I was puzzled why Carlos Gonzales was called CARGO instead of CARGON but maybe it could be considered a racist name to call a hispanic.

MADBUM is classic, as you said. But, for example, so are GONZO and GOLDIE. I can't imagine Stan Musial being called STAMUS. Of course his nickname was Stan The Man (given to him by Brooklyn Dodgers fans who adored him).
As far as offending someone with a nickname, shouldn't it be only when deserved? Such as YASI P U, for peeing in our pool. Or, even better, just A**HOLE.

I was not talking about nicknames per se, like Goldie and Gonzo but rather the trend towards using the first 3 letters of their name and the first 3 letters of their last name. There are dozens of them out there, just thought MADBUM was the best and CARGO should be CARGON.
