Snake Bytes: 9/16 - Narrowly Winning with Five Homers
Photo by John McCoy/ The Madison Bumgarner worries continue to mount. Diamondbacks News Arizona 9, Los Angeles (A) 8 Arizona’s hitters swatted four home runs over the course of the first four innings, leading to an 8-1 lead entering the fifth inning. This is 2020 though. Even that lead, with Madison Bumgarner on the mound, was not safe. Indeed, it was Bumgarner who faltered, allowing the game to be tied up before he exited. It took a fifth home run in the eighth, this one off the bat of David Peralta to finally seal the deal for Arizona. Calhoun Goes Deep Twice Against Old Mates Once...

Series Preview # 16: Diamondbacks @ Angels
Maddon asks, “Is it Friday night?” | Photo by Ezra Shaw/ Which players are performing best?
