The Arizona Diamondbacks gained back a measure of respectability last week. They played six games at Chase Field against division rivals San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers and went 3-3. It came on the heels of a stretch in which the D-backs lost 11 out of 14 games. At 68-75, Arizona sits in third place in the National League West and are in the middle of a 23 game stretch against divisional opponents.
