The Diamondbacks should probably have won both games, and had to settle for a tie in the home leg of the split squad game. There, they allowed the Royals to score twice in the ninth inning, and escape with a 4-4 tie. The offending pitcher was Bradin Hagens, who gave up a two-run shot with one out in the ninth, costing Zack Godley a win he deserved. Zack had been very impressive in his final warm-up start, holding the Royals to two hits and one run, on a solo homer to Mike Moustakas, over seven innings.
