PHOENIX -- Sergio Romo balked in the tiebreaking run during a five-walk, nine-run bullpen meltdown in the bottom of the eighth inning Friday night as the D-backs overwhelmed the Dodgers at Chase Field, 13-5, despite three hits and three RBIs by Corey Seager.
Chris Taylor put the Dodgers in front, 5-4, with his first career pinch-hit homer in the seventh, but a bases-loaded walk by Luis Avilan to Daniel Descalso in the eighth tied the game again, and Romo was called for his first Major League balk by plate umpire Mike Muchlinski to bring in the go-ahead run.
