The Diamondbacks had a big lead early but couldn’t hold it as the Angels kept chipping away and then took a 8-6 lead in the 9th when Joakim Soria blew the save, surrendering 3 runs. Caleb Smith pitched ok, but not great, just a little better than his final line.
It was the D-back 9th loss in a row, and dropped their record to 20-45.
T-1: Caleb Smith struggled throwing strikes to start out, walking Justin Upton on four pitches. But he caught Jared Walsh looking and after falling behind Max Stassi got him swinging.
