## Resource

Arizona Diamondbacks keep playoff hopes alive, stunning the New York Yankees with a gritty series win. Can Torey Lovullo’s squad pull off a miracle run in the season’s final week? The spotlight’s on Nolan Arenado’s power surge—leading the team in home runs and RBIs on a bargain contract—while Pavin Smith’s unexpected resurgence adds intrigue to the lineup. Is it too little, too late for the D-backs’ postseason dreams? George Lund breaks down the Diamondbacks’ bipolar season, highlighting upsets over top teams like the Dodgers and Braves—and costly losses to underdogs like the Rockies. The episode dives into Corbin Burnes’ post-Tommy John struggles, Eduardo Rodriguez’s alarming first-inning woes, and the stars’ September performances. Key matchups against the Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres loom, with the final NL Wild Card spot within razor-thin reach. Will Arizona’s resilience carry them to October baseball?
