The Arizona Diamondbacks finally got the dominant outing they needed from Brandon Pfaadt, but what should have been a stress-free victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates turned into an unforgettable marathon. Pfaadt fired seven shutout innings and appeared on his way to a career-high sixth consecutive win before Ryan Thompson and Paul Sewald combined to blow the lead, sending the game into extra innings and robbing Big Game Brandon of a well-earned victory. The D-backs ultimately outlasted Pittsburgh in 12 innings, capping off a wild night that featured clutch hitting, relentless small ball, and eight runs from an offense that refused to quit.

We break down Pfaadt’s ace-caliber performance, the bullpen collapse, and how Arizona found a way to survive one of its craziest wins of the season. Plus, we check in on Alek Thomas after a rogue mascot tried to take him out over the weekend, and discuss whether the Diamondbacks should be kicking the tires on a Jake McCarthy trade ahead of the deadline.
