The Diamondbacks did it again. After not scoring for seven innings, they broke through late against the Kansas City Royals and found a way to win their fourth straight game. Blake Walston and Tim Tawa came through when it mattered most, and Corbin Burnes was effective in his long-awaited return to the mound.
We dive in to all angles of the win, including our thoughts on Burnes' return. Should we be concerned that Burnes' stuff was still down a tick or two? What expectations should we have moving forward? Meanwhile, the D-backs named Zac Gallen as their starting pitcher for Wednesday with Michael Soroka pitching behind him.
We also discuss Ryne Nelson getting close to a return, and the San Diego Padres pulling off a dramatic win of their own to stay half a game back.
