One day after failing to have a single runner in scoring position (and the consequential lack of run-scoring that produced), the Diamondbacks managed to double that number - to similar effect. It was another disappointing performance for a unit that has slashed just .232/.307/.390 (.697 OPS) since the beginning of July. The offense certainly is not the only reason for this serious slump during that period, but it also hasn’t held up to its previous standard either. In that same period, the pitching staff as a whole has only managed a 5.42 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. That is perhaps the most frustrating part in this slide: there is no single part of the roster that has failed the rest.
