OVERHEARD

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo:

“That last at-bat, I let my mind wander for about 15 seconds in between pitches and thought, ‘we’re really close to doing something really special,'” Lovullo said. “For the entire state of Arizona, for this organization that’s had a lot of hardships over the past 36, 48 months. For us to be where we are right now, it was a good moment.”
