Diamondbacks' Lovullo says he wouldn't do anything different after ninth-inning debacle

LOS ANGELES — Manager Torey Lovullo admitted he did not sleep well, but he had no interest in reliving the ninth inning of the Diamondbacks’ stunning collapse on Tuesday night, in which two of his relievers combined to walk five consecutive batters to turn a one-run lead into a 5-4 walk-off loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Closer Greg Holland, after getting two quick outs and jumping ahead of the next hitter 0-2, walked four consecutive batters to tie game, missing the strike zone on 16 of his final 20 pitches. Reliever T.J. McFarland entered and issued a six-pitch walk to Cody Bellinger to force home the winning run.
