There are countless examples of teams - including this one - “flushing” a bad loss and coming back the next game with a renewed spirit. That was not quite the case tonight as the offensive woes continued for the D-Backs in a game whose pitching matchup certainly favored them on paper. Through parts of this game, it resembled an old-school pitching matchup with both starters cruising and facing the minimum number of batters in several innings. Combined, the two managed to induce 31 swings and misses as Dustin May’s sweeper and sinker combination kept Arizona’s batters completely off-balance and unsure across his six-inning outing.
