Episode Details

Tim Tawa delivered a career-defining performance for the Arizona Diamondbacks, going 3-for-4 with a 429-foot two-run homer, two RBIs, and a stolen base — accounting for four of the team’s nine runs in a win over the Dodgers. His 85 mph swing speed was among the fastest in the league this year, and the homer was the second-fastest swing of its kind. With first base now open due to Pavin Smith’s DFA and manager Torey Lovullo’s decision to split time with Ildemaro Vargas, Tawa seized the moment, boosting his average from .155 to .187. Though he’s shown power flashes in the minors and rookie season, his MLB adjustments have been tough — but this game proves he’s ready to be Arizona’s long-term first baseman.
