What we saw over the last four days was nothing short of remarkable.  I didn’t think the pitching staff of the Arizona Diamondbacks could top the performance in June in which they allowed only two whole runs in three games to the San Francisco Giants. Well, in four games this weekend the maligned unit gave up only two runs in four games to the Milwaukee Brewers, winning three of the contests. We have seen this previously, so before we get our chests pumped about a corner turned, just remember there are 55 games left this season.
