This is a game the Diamondbacks should have won. First, they give Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff a proper pounding. Then 2 1⁄3 innings later, they mildly beat up on Josh Hader. The offense came through with six runs in support of Robbie Ray. Christian Walker even got himself back over the Uecker Line, going 3-for-5 on the evening. David Peralta continued to impress with a three-hit day of his own. Robbie Ray did his part, continuing his excellent season with another strong outing.
With all that going for them, the Diamondbacks entered the 9th inning with a three-run lead.
