The Arizona Diamondbacks faced disappointment as they missed out on the postseason despite a valiant effort throughout the season. The defending National League champions arrived at Chase Field on Monday afternoon with hopes of a playoff berth but were met with heavy anxiety as their fate unfolded.
After a day of scoreboard watching, it was confirmed that the Diamondbacks would not be advancing to the playoffs. The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets split their doubleheader, securing their spots in the postseason. Despite all three teams finishing the regular season with an 89-73 record, the Mets and Braves held tiebreakers over Arizona due to winning the season series.
