“National Beer Day” falling on this year’s Opening Day was purely a coincidence. But Diamondbacks rookie Seth Beer hitting a walk-off home run on a day celebrating his last name, that was the biggest coincidence of the day.
As the Diamondbacks entered the ninth inning against the Padres on Thursday night, Arizona trailed 2–1. Thanks to Beer’s three-run walk-off home run, the Diamondbacks sealed their first victory of the season.
