Snake Bytes 5/20: Close, But No Cigar

From the article: The game got away from the Diamondbacks in the bottom of the seventh inning. Back-to-back walks to Chris Taylor and Gavin Lux courtesy of Taylor Clarke and Joe Mantiply, respectively, put the go-ahead run on base for Los Angeles. A pair of misplays in right field to follow would give the Dodgers the lead. Albert Pujols came off the bench to pinch hit, so the outfield was playing deep to respect his power despite his undeniable decline as a baserunner. Because of this, he hit a shallow fly ball to right field that fell between Josh Rojas and Pavin Smith.
