Gotta see this: Didi does it again

Gotta see this: Didi does it again

Ho-hum. Another late-night, free-baseball, walk-off victory for the Diamondbacks.

Tenth-inning heroics from Aaron Hill. Martin Prado's continuing streak as the hottest hitter on the planet, putting more distance between himself and that Justin guy. And Gerardo Parra's career-best five-RBI performance, including the longest single in the history of mankind.

And it wouldn't be complete without a bullpen meltdown (or two).

Yet, somehow in a 10-9 slugfest, it's the defense that warrants some extra morning-after praise.

Paul Goldschmidt's sweet catch in foul ground, Didi Gregorius' sliding stop to retire Logan Forsythe, Prado's game-saving lunge to spear Jedd Gyorko's bases-loaded liner.

And there's one more. By now, Arizona fans have learned they shouldn't be astounded by anything Gregorius does. But even with that disclaimer, Didi somehow managed a new twist on astonishment. Check it out.
