Rob Thomson will surely be happy with his team's performance and the final result and would hope they continue in similar fashion when they face D-backs for the series finale on Sunday, June 23.
Bryce Harper and the team still have the chance to win this series against the D-back as both teams have won one game each in this three-game series. On the other hand D-backs, Torey Lovullo will certainly urge his side to keep the last game's result in the rear view and focus on winning Sunday's series finale.
