The Arizona Diamondbacks have been heating up as of late, and their hot streak reached a fever pitch on Tuesday night.
And for as much as the offense stood out, it was Ryne Nelson who tossed 7.0 shutout innings before passing the torch to Arizona's shutdown bullpen. Tuesday notably marked the Diamondbacks' third win by 15-plus runs this season. They previously defeated the Colorado Rockies 16-1 on March 28, then they beat the San Francisco Giants 17-1 on April 19., only three teams have had more 15-run wins in a season since 1900. The 1931 New York Yankees, 1935 Detroit Tigers and 1939 Yankees all posted four such wins.
