But one should draw on the optimism and D-Backs have reasons to believe that they can stretch the current run when they play the Pirates in the final match of the three-game series at Chase Field. The match is scheduled for a start at 01:10 AM (IST) on Thursday morning.

The 11-6 scoreline hides an unusual fact that scoring 8 runs in a single inning is not normal. D-Backs managed to do that in the last game and stole away with an unlikely win. Pirates must be smarting still thinking they let opponents off the hook at a crucial juncture. But the Arizona Diamondbacks remain the favourite to win this encounter.
