Rivalries & Top Games to Attend
Diamondbacks vs Dodgers
Rival Team: Los Angeles Dodgers
An unlikely rivalry developed between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers in 2011 when Dodgers reliever Hong-Chih Kuo threw a pitch at Diamondbacks’ Gerardo Parra, who later hit a home run off him much to Kuo’s discontent. This sparked a controversial battle between the two teams that included multiple pitches intentionally being thrown at players and a bench-clearing brawl. Fuel was added to the fire in 2013 when the Dodgers won the NL West and subsequently jumped into the pool in Chase Field, making the Diamondbacks/Dodgers rivalry one of the most exciting and intense games in the lineup.
Diamondbacks vs Cubs
Rival Team: Chicago Cubs
There isn’t a rivalry between these two teams, but there are many Chicago Cubs fans in Arizona due to the Cubs presence during spring training. Many Cubs fans also travel to Arizona to see their team play, so when the two cross paths, Chase Field and Phoenix is filled with fans from both teams tailgating and celebrating a beautiful day for baseball
