Record: 28-33, Pace 74-88
The Diamondbacks have developed a disturbing habit of falling behind by multiple runs early in games. Sometimes they come back to make the score look respectable, and sometimes they even come back to win the game. In fact, 15 of their 28 wins are of the “comeback” variety. But that’s a tough way to make a living, and not a recipe for success. More often than not when a team falls behind in the first couple of innings, especially by multiple runs, they are going to lose the game.
That was the case again today in their 4-0 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies.
