Zach Davies had an abbreviated outing to start game one of the double header, not something that fans of the Diamondbacks wanted to see. Sure enough, the excessive reliance on the bullpen came back to bite the team in the rear, as Caleb Smith and Kevin Ginkel managed to give away a four run lead in the eighth. Joe Mantiply was credited with the blown save, but that comes with the caveat that the bases were loaded with no one out when he entered the game to protect a one run lead.
