Little more than a year ago, Joe Mantiply was a National League All-Star. Tonight, he couldn't record an out, leading to a four-run eighth inning for Colorado. That cost the Diamondbacks the game, as they blew a 4-1 lead, and snuffed out the faint shoots of a winning streak at two. To be fair, the offense also deserves their share of criticism, managing only five hits. That’s rarely going to be enough to win at Coors Field. On the plus side, this one was over in just two hours and nineteen minutes, which is the quickest game the D-backs have played in Denver for almost seventeen years [since a 5-1 win on September 15, 2006, which took 2:12] So, we are at least freed to go about our evening.
