Chafin pulls an Archie. Base hit to lead off the bottom of the 9th.

Tying run at bat.

Oof, bases loaded and no one out and we can't get 1 run? Also, why does it seem like everytime Chafin is in he's walking people or giving up hits?

And Sherfy closes it. D-backs win 2-0. Right now, he's the best closer on the team.

Good thing Archie had pitched a lot of innings. :)

BB mentioned, "Who closes when Archie can't? Sherfy."

How about, "Sherfy closes. Archie back to 7th innings."
He needs a safety net.

Except, I don't think Sherfy would be eligible during the
post season, as a 40-man roster call up.

I assume the rules for the Wild Card and League
Championship contenders are the same as the World Series.

If that is the case, shame on the D-backs for not calling up
our best Minor League closer when we had none on the
Major League roster and the demoted Archie got the job
by default.
