Nolan Arenado just joined elite company with his 2,000th career hit — one of only six active players to reach that milestone — but the Diamondbacks’ celebration was short-lived after a sloppy, controversial loss to the Athletics. Despite a gutsy eighth homer from Ketel Marte and a dramatic comeback from a day before, the offense stalled against surprisingly homer-prone pitcher Jeffrey Springs. Strange umpiring calls — including overturned outs and a botched pick-off — added to the chaos, while a controversial ABS appeal and a meltdown by Kevin Ginkel in the seventh sealed the fate. Still, the D-backs held their ground in the wild-card race, just a half-game behind a playoff spot, as rookie Kade Stroud steps in to try and turn things around.
