However, in the fourth and fifth inning, pitches started to miss the strike zone and he found himself in trouble. While he was able to work his way out of the fourth with little damage, the same could not be said about the fifth when three Giants crossed home plate. Diamondbacks gained momentum in the sixth when, with Paul Goldschmidt on first, Julio Daniel Martinez, aka J.D. Martinez, aka Just Dingers, went deep cutting the lead 4-2. Unfortunately, they couldn't continue the momentum, the Giants went on to score three more and the Diamondbacks were unable to complete the sweep.
