The Arizona Diamondbacks are amazing at being average.

In a strange Major League Baseball record that's the epitome of OK, the Diamondbacks have been within two games of .500 -- plus or minus -- for more than two months. They lost to the Colorado Rockies on June 18 to fall to 38-36 and have remained a middle-of-the-road club since.

The 60-game streak has beaten the Oakland A's mark of 56 straight games set in 2007, according to Stats LLC.

Officials are being a bit mum about his condition, which has me worried. The Tigers put out a statement:

When people put out statements like that without saying what his condition/prognosis is, that's usually a bad sign.

Teammates started a GoFundMe, which makes it sound serious.

It was also the first game since June 1998 where a player made his ML debut against his brother's team (Alex Cora LA vs Joey Cora SEA)

Colin was actually originally drafted by the Marlins oddly enough. Baseball-reference also says their uncle is B.J. Surhoff. BJ's brother Rich also pitched a single inning for the Phillies in 1985 and 8 innings for the Rangers
