Arizona Diamondbacks sweep Oakland Athletics, back to .500
It wasn't as convincing of a win as the Diamondbacks have come to expect in recent days, but then again, manager Kirk Gibson said he wanted to see how well his team responded in a close game. He got his wish on Sunday afternoon and his Diamondbacks didn't disappoint, delivering a 4-3 victory to complete a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics at Chase Field. It was the team's fifth consecutive win, establishing a new season high. The victory also brought the Diamondbacks back to .500 (30-30) for the first time since May 5 when they were 14-14.
