Jose Fernandez. Pfaadt was atleast able to give the team 6 innings, but his innings were so stark. From an offensive standpoint, this is going to be known as the Jose Fernandez game for a long time. However, it was the bottom of the 8th that really cemented the Jose Fernandez lore. The Tigers countered by bringing in their closer Kenley Jansen, and Fernandez took the 3rd pitch 409 feet for a 3 run home run putting the Dbacks up 7-5.
