PHOENIX -- When the runs come for the D-backs, they come in bunches. Opening Day when they scored 14 runs in the third inning and 16 overall. Or April 16 against the Cubs when they plated 12 or April 19 when they got the Giants for 17 runs. Their latest

PHOENIX -- A few hours before Christian Walker’s second homer of the game gave the D-backs a 4-3 walk-off win over the Dodgers in the 10th inning, a crucial series of events was about to start unfolding at a different type of ballgame on the Westside of the Valley. A

SEATTLE -- The D-backs' three-city, 10-game, 11-day, 5,027-mile road trip finally came to an end Sunday and while they didn’t end up with as many wins as they had hoped, they did end it on a positive note with a 3-2 win over the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. With the
