The Suns clinched a playoff spot on the last day of the regular as they beat the Timberwolves 125-106 on April 14, locking up the sixth seed. If Phoenix did not pull out the victory, they would have had to compete in the NBA play-in tournament.
In the best-of-seven series, Phoenix will begin on the road for the first two games in Minnesota before Games 3 and 4 take place at Footprint Center.
For the Diamondbacks, they crushed the Giants 17-1 on Friday night as they racked up the most hits in a nine-inning game in franchise history (22). Alexander hit his first grand slam of his MLB career and had five RBIs while Ketel Marte went 4-for-6. In his first start as a Diamondback, Jordan Montgomery pitched 4.0 innings, allowing just one run on four hits and struck out three San Francisco batters.
The Suns take on the Timberwolves at 12:30 p.m. PT before the D-backs face the Giants at 1:05 p.m. PT.
