Background
It was the club's first winning season since 2010, and Black was a finalist for Manager of the Year. Charlie Blackmon won the NL batting title at .331 and set a major league record for runs batted in by a leadoff hitter. New closer Greg Holland, signed in January, won the NL Comeback Player of the Year award. In the Wild Card Game at Chase Field on October 4, Arizona scored three runs in the first inning off Jon Gray on Paul Goldschmidt's homer and won 11-8, despite back-to-back home runs by Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story in the eighth.
