Los Angeles (N) 10, Arizona 9 (10)
The Diamondbacks led this game by four as they entered the seventh inning. In the bottom of the tenth inning, they scored three in a desperate bid at a comeback win. That will happen when a team allows six walks in four innings, including an inning in which an opposing runner begins the frame with a runner in scoring position.
Diamondbacks Blow Late Lead, Comeback Falls Short
Arizona’s offense and defense (sort of) did their jobs in this one. Arizona starter Luke Weaver walked four batters in his short, four-inning outing. His tendencies carried over to the bullpen. Carrying a four-run lead into the seventh, the game was tied by the time the Diamondbacks came up in the bottom half of the inning. Coming up in the bottom of the tenth, they had their own four-run deficit to overcome. The comeback was a run short, as the Diamondbacks offense could only plate three against the Dodgers. The Diamondbacks issued 12 free passes in 10 innings while also surrendering two home runs. The Diamondbacks actually managed three homers of their own in the game, but were only able to draw two free passes.
Diamondbacks Rally Falls Short
Arizona’s offense showed up big on Tuesday night, but it simply was not enough to overcome Arizona’s season-long propensity for issuing far too many free passes.
Josh Rojas Saves Game in Seventh
Josh Rojas picked up his first professional innings at shortstop on Tuesday. In doing so, he made a spectacular play which resulted in an inning-ending double play in the seventh. The play kept the game tied, rather than giving the Dodgers a lead with which to avoid extra innings later. This one will almost certainly make the short list for Snake Pit plays of the season.
