The Arizona Diamondbacks held their Coyotes Night on Monday night, honoring their #AllAZ friends at Chase Field before a game against the Marlins.
Captain and defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson was on hand to throw out the first pitch, but first, players and coaches wore white Arizona Coyotes shirts during batting practice.

Then, closer to game time, a group of Coyotes players arrived and were on the field in support of Ekman-Larsson’s first pitch. Some of the players were seen chatting with D-backs manager Torey Lovullo.

Then, after the National Anthem, the players watched as their teammate tossed a first pitch to D-backs catcher Caleb Joseph.
