The Diamondbacks trade slugging OF Mark Trumbo and P Vidal Nuno to the Mariners for C Welington Castillo, P Dominic Leone and two prospects, IF Jack Reinheimer and OF Gabby Guerrero. The trade breaks a logjam in the outfield for the D-Backs, with the emergence of Cuban defector Yasmany Tomas, while they need a catcher to replace Tuffy Gosewisch who went down with a season-ending knee injury a week earlier.

2015 – The Pirates win for the 9th time in 11 games thanks to help from one of their fans on the road. Playing the Giants at AT&T Park, the Bucs are up 4 – 3 in the 8th when Buster Posey lifts a fly ball towards foul territory in right field; RF Gregory Polanco goes out near the stands to attempt a catch, but, Steve Bartman-like, a fan wearing a Pirates cap and jersey reaches out and deflects the ball into the stands, accidentally hitting Polanco in the process. After a video review, umpire Doug Eddings calls Posey out on fan interference, ending the inning. Things don’t end well for the fan, though, since he is ejected for interfering with a ball in play.
