Bats Were Sleeping
Out of the 5 hits the Diamondbacks got through the first 7 innings, Carroll and Varsho combined for 4 of them. Alek Thomas pitched in a single as well.
The D-Backs looked off balance at the plate tonight and seemed to be guessing, and guessing wrong a lot of the time. They had a feeling of desperation, hero ball if you will. Like every player wanted to have that next big swing.
8th and 9th Inning
Still down 5-3 in the top of the 8th inning with 2 outs, Jake McCarthy gets on base with a base hit. Arizona’s 6th to this point. Emmanuel Rivera brought the count to 2-2 and fought off some tough pitches before striking out to end the inning.
All-Star Joe Mantiply came in to pitch the bottom of the 8th inning. Lately they have been giving him more pressure situations, sending him out in the 8th and 9th inning. Mantiply gave up 1 run in the bottom of the 8th, giving the Padres a 6-3 lead going into the 9th.
Josh Hader came in to get the save for the Padres. He did just that by pitching 3 up, 3 down. Diamondbacks lose 6-3, making that two loses in a row.
