Lovullo appreciates D-backs' fight late in loss

MILWAUKEE -- While they dropped their second straight game to the Brewers on Sunday, the D-backs showed they're not ones to back down without a fight in a 9-5 loss.

Trailing 8-1 through seven innings, the D-backs put together a four-run eighth inning off relievers Oliver Drake and Carlos Torres to pull within three with the potential tying run at the plate.

"I liked the way we grinded our at-bats out. We took advantage of mistakes. We let their pitcher pitch a little bit, and we had base runners on and that was the key to the whole equation us scoring four runs," D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said.
