Snake Bytes 7/18: Methods of Heartbreak

[D’backs.com] Gallen’s return a silver lining in bitter loss - Zac Gallen returned from the injured list and looked sharp through 5 2/3 innings, and the bullpen managed to keep the Cubs off the board while the offense did just enough to take a one-run lead into the ninth. Closer Joakim Soria came on and retired the first two Chicago hitters, and then in the span of four pitches, everything changed. Rafael Ortega doubled to right on the first pitch he saw, pinch-hitter Robinson Chirinos lined a ball off the glove of a leaping Nick Ahmed at short, again on the first pitch, and the game was tied.
