After a string of solid performances, the pitching staff struggled and the offense couldn't pick up the slack, denying the team a sweep of the Phillies.
Looking for the series sweep before embarking on a long road trip, the Dbacks pitching staff struggled starting with Chase Anderson, making just his second start off the disabled list. While he struck out 5 batters, he allowed 9 hits and 5 runs in his 5 innings of work. Keith Hessler struggled in relief, allowing an RBI single and 2-run home run to put the Dbacks in a 7-4 hole that they would not come back from.
