Record 47-100, Pace 52-110
Madison Bumgarner threw 7 innings of 1 hit ball, and Kole Calhoun hit a homerun in his return from the disabled list. But it was not enough to defeat the Houston Astros tonight. The Diamondbacks offense squandered numerous opportunities and eventually fell in the 10th inning when Tyler Clippard struggled with his control, hitting a batter with the bases loaded to force in the winning run.
The Astros had to go with a bullpen game, using 8 pitchers, as Dusty Baker masterfully manipulated his fine pen.
The first inning started off with the first of three base hits for Josh Rojas.
