One particular Arizona Diamondbacks stat is sticking out — which is ironic because it's about the Diamondbacks' inability to stick out. In fact, the team is historically mediocre.

Arizona has been within two games of .500 – plus or minus – for more than two months. The team is on a 60-game streak that has beaten the Oakland Athletics’ mark of 56 straight games set in 2007, according to STATS.

With some late-season magic, Lovullo hopes to pull off a miracle.
