Going in, this looked like it might turn into a typical Coors Field shoot-out, with a score resembling something you’d see on an eighties arcade. Didn’t quite work out that way, as the day after winning by the odd run in twenty-one, the Diamondbacks ended up on the losing end by the odd run in five. However, the offense really only have themselves to blame: multiple TOOTBLANs, hitting into four double-plays and a key defensive gaffe by Geraldo Perdomo in the ninth, led to a defeat. It wasted a fine outing by Merrill Kelly and also failed to take advantage of a good chance to gain further breathing room ahead of the Atlanta Braves.
