Record: 75-68. Pace: 85-77. Change on 2018: -1.
Criticism will likely be leveled at the Diamondbacks bullpen for this one. It’s understandable, considering they combined to allow five hits and two runs while recording a mere six outs. But the offense certainly has to come in for their share of blame. You won’t win many games when being outhit by a 12-3 margin, as Arizona were by Cincinnati this afternoon. Indeed, the D-backs now have a 10-89 record when recording just three hits in a game, so while the L may be hung by the name of Yoan Lopez, a good chunk of it goes to the position players who went 3-for-27.
