I gained ten pounds just looking at it! ;)

And this, after cutting out bread for the past week in advance of my routine checkup tomorrow.

The first step of which is getting on the scale.

Christian Walker with an opposite field triple to lead off the bottom of the 2nd.

The past two half innings saw runners on base but no scoring for either team.

Flores hits a ground ball to drive in the run. 1-0 D-backs.

Braves tie the game with a double (out trying to stretch it to a triple).

1-1 going to the bottom of the 3rd.

Is Marte hurt or something??
Nope, it's his "scheduled" day off. Funny, when I started rooting for baseball, there was
no such thing as a scheduled day off.

Meanwhile, it's the top of the 9th, the closer Holland comes in to pitch in a 1-1 tie and,
following his first blown save yesterday, gives up a HR to the first batter today.

Braves lead 2-1.

Top of the order coming up for the D-backs in the bottom of the 9th.

They have left 11 on base during the first 8 innings.

Why was Holland brought in to a non-save situation?

This is Tori out thinking himself he’s a good manager but he blows at least 10 games a season by being too cute

Ketel should have been the pinch hitter in the bottom of the evening is absolutely asinine not to have him do that

He was throwing in the bullpen in case the D-backs took the lead in the 8th.

But, I agree, someone else should have been throwing beside him.

Hold the Presses. David Peralta with a 2-out HR and it's 2-2.

Jones singles and Walker comes up and walks.

Flores up with the winning run on 2B.

And, here we go again. Extra innings.

Duplanier, just back up, is in to pitch the 10th (and possibly a couple more).

Another bloop for another win. Ketel Marte, inserted in to play 2B,
drives in the walk-off single in the 10th.

3-2 D-backs. Duplantier gets the win.

Except for Ahmed, every spot in the batting order had
a hit, including Marte batting 9th on a double switch.

Now, that is a team effort!

Of course, The Freight Train's blast (and it was a blast)
and Marte's bloop were the highlights.

Even though Ahmed didn’t get a hit he did score the winning run off a walk
