PHOENIX -- Are you ready for some offense?Arizona and Cincinnati are in the top half of the National League in run production, and they have the two of the three highest team ERA in the majors.Throw in a ballpark that usually plays small, and the conditions seem ripe.Although the Diamondbacks were two-hit in a 3-1 loss to Atlanta on Thursday, they had 23 runs and 39 hits in the first three games while splitting the four-game series. Arizona is fifth in the NL with 585 runs, has 145 home runs and leads the majors with a franchise-record 49 triples. The ball travels well here, and the outfield is large, angling out to 413 feet in left- and right-center.At the same time, the D-backs staff ERA is 5.15.The Reds pitched much better since assistant pitching/bullpen coach Mack Jenkins was promoted to pitching coach on July 4, but they remain 28th in the majors with 4.97 ERA. The Reds have scored 565 runs and hit 134 homers.Manager Bryan Prices Reds are 22-15 since the All-Star break, the second-best record in the NL, and have won six of their last nine. They had a five-game winning streak during that run, their longest since July, 2014.Cincinnati left-hander Brandon Finnegan will make his 26th start of the season against the D-backs in the first game of the series Friday, while Arizona will start rookie right-hander Braden Shipley.Shipley, Arizonas first-round pick in the 2013 draft, will be making his seventh major league start after being promoted in late July. He is 2/3 with a 5.45 ERA.Finnegan, 8-9 with a 4.32 ERA, has made 13 quality starts and has been the victim of four blown saves. He was one of the young left-handers Cincinnati identified and acquired in the trade that sent Johnny Cueto to the eventual World Series champion Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline last year.He has twice taken no-hitters into the seventh inning this season, something the Diamondbacks saw Thursday when Atlanta right-hander Matt Wisler did not allow a hit until Paul Goldschmidt singled to open the seventh inning.First basemen drive these teams, with a little help from their friends.Goldschmidt had two three-hit games and drove in four runs in the Atlanta series, and his walkout homer won Mondays game, 9-8. That home was his second since July 24, a span of 130 plate appearances, and he hit another Wednesday. He is slashing .304/.421/.505 with 27 doubles, 20 homers, 20 stolen bases and 78 RBI. He is the third first baseman since 1974 with back-to-back 20 homer/20 stolen base seasons, joining Jeff Bagwell and Ryan Klesko.I never sensed a frustration about not hitting home runs, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. Ever. Thats one thing hes never, ever made a big deal about. I sense frustration just about going through a little bit of struggles here and there and he wants to be the guy to get us out of problems. Hes such good teammate, he wants to be that leader.Cincinnati first baseman Joey Votto, hitting .213 through May, leads the majors with a .444 batting average and a .538 on-base percentage and is second with a .690 slugging percentage since the All-Star break. He hit .419 in July and .438 in August. With six games remaining in August, Votto is attempting to become the first major league since 2010 and the first Reds player since 1900 to hit at least .400 in consecutive months. Josh Hamilton hit .454 in June and .418 in July 2010 with Texas.

Still unopened is a bottle of Chateau Margaux that Butch Harmon has kept in his Las Vegas wine cellar for such a moment as this.Walker gave him the $1,200 bottle four years ago when Harmon refused payment for their first of many lessons. Harmon was so confident in the 37-year-old Texan that he pledged not to open it until Walker won a major.Asked if he ever opened the wine, Harmon replied in a text message Sunday night, Not yet.This should go down smoothly.Walker went wire-to-wire in the PGA Championship, and he was tested to the very end.Only three other players over the last decade won their first major by leading (including ties) from start to finish -- Jordan Spieth at the 2015 Masters, Rory McIlroy at the 2011 U.S. Open and Trevor Immelman at the 2008 Masters. All of them had comfortable margins on the back nine.What made Walkers victory even more gratifying was who he beat at Baltusrol.First it was Henrik Stenson, who only two weeks ago set a major championship record at 264 in the British Open with a final round of 63 that ranked among the best. And over the final hour of the longest day at the PGA Championship, the challenge came from Jason Day, the No. 1 player in the world and defending PGA champion.Through it all, Walker didnt make a bogey over the final 28 holes of his 36-hole day.God, just to be in it and be there and have a chance and then to finish it off is just ... its so gratifying, he said of his one-shot victory.Walker heard the wild cheering of Day hitting 2-iron onto the green at the par-5 18th, twice backed off his 8-foot birdie putt at the 17th and made it. That gave him a three-shot lead, which shrunk to one shot moments later when Day closed with a 15-foot eagle putt.Walker never looked concern, even if his heart was pounding.Thats brutal sometimes when you know all you have to do is make a par, and I havent made a bogey all day, Walker said. You come to the last hole, and just didnt want that to happen.He missed the green to the right in deep rough, pitched safely to 35 feet, rolling the first putt 3 feet by and getting his par.Harmon had a right to save the wine until his latest client won a major, because Walker appeared to have all the goods. Yes, hes a late bloomer, though most off that was due to some nagging injuries when he first got on the PGA Tour.dddddddddddd He could hit the ball with power, and his putting is what other players envy.From his first victory in October 2013 to the way he held off Spieth in Texas, Walker won five times in 39 tournaments over a stretch of nearly two years and rose as high as No. 10 in the world. He played in the Ryder Cup in 2014 and the Presidents Cup in 2015.Somewhere along the way, his confidence took a hit and it was becoming tougher to recover from a few wild tee shots. He had not come seriously close to winning over the last year and slipped to No. 48 in the world going into the PGA Championship. The Ryder Cup was starting to seem like a long shot.One week changed everything. He looked like the Walker of old, and became golfs newest champion.I know exactly how Jimmy feels because I did exactly that last year, said Day, who beat Spieth by three shots at Whistling Straits in 2015 to win his first major. So it was actually quite nice to be able to see him celebrate with his family and friends there.Walker and Day can be considered neighbors during their PGA Tour travels. Both live in a tour bus on the road, which gives them a sense of being at home and allows for a little more stability for their children. They often park next to each other, or at least on the same property.Walker wrapped up a season in the majors marked by first-time winners. It was the first time thats happened since 2011, but only the third time since 1970. The PGA Championship was the most peculiar of all, mainly because of rain delays that led to a 36-hole finish for 10 players (Walker included), and left so much water and mud on the fairways that the PGA allowed players to lift, clean and place their golfs in the short grass.On Monday morning, Walker was headed to New York for a media tour before taking some time to digest what happened. He moved to No. 15 in the world. He is virtually a lock now to be on the Ryder Cup team.As for that Chateau Margaux? Walker wasnt sure whatever became of it.Thats a question for Butch. I gave it to him, and if he drank it, thats on him, Walker said, pausing as his smile widened. But Ive got another one at home.
