The Diamondbacks' minor league affiliates had a perfect day, going 4-0. The offenses were clicking, with all four affiliates scoring at least six runs. Here's a recap of all the action on Friday. A back-and-forth affair that saw multiple lead changes and bullpen blow-ups from both teams. Yu-Min Lin struggled once again, allowing four runs on three hits, five walks, and six strikeouts over 4.1 innings. The walks continue to be a problem for the 21-year-old lefty, who now has 5.93 per nine innings.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will be carrying a four-game win streak into Great American Ballpark over the weekend. Arizona will be taking on the Cincinnati Reds, a team that has enough talent to compete with anyone but has underwhelmed with a 30-33 record. A series win would be absolutely essential for the Diamondbacks to stay within striking distance in the Wild Card race. They can put themselves in great position for that with a win in the series' first game.
