Snake Bytes 8/8: More Offense, Bullpen Woes
After assembling a scrappy 14-inning victory on Monday night, the Arizona offense once again found itself struggling to score runs on Tuesday. The result was that Zack Greinke was hung with a loss, despite only allowing one run through seven innings of work. Arizona’s bats finally managed to push two runs across in the eighth, but alas, it was too little as Jake Diekman was unable to keep the game close, allowing four more runs in the top of the frame.
Zack Greinke continued to showcase his late-season dominance, but left the game losing 1-0 after seven full innings. Arizona was unable to score until after Jake Diekman entered the game to pitch the eighth and surrendered four more runs.
