Through six innings, this looked like another dismal D-backs defeat. They were 5-0 down, and had been held to just one hit. They looked flat in all aspects of the game, and were lucky to only be down by five. But the offense woke up over the final three frames, staging another sterling comeback to force extra innings. This time, however, there was to be no happy ending: the Reds scored their bequeathed runner on second, while the D-backs could not, dropping their season record to 2-6.
I turned the game on, just in time to see the ball arcing towards the pool area, on Taylor Widener's first pitch of the night.
