More often than not, Diamondbacks games this season have fallen into one of two categories: Either they lose because they cannot hit at any point in the game -- or they lose because they cannot hit in the key moments of the game.
Their 4-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants goes into the latter bucket. They had chances -- not many, mind you, but chances nonetheless -- and could not capitalize, and so they trudged back to their clubhouse having lost for the 15th time in the past 17 games.
Perhaps that bears repeating: The Diamondbacks, who entered the year hoping not just to advance to the postseason but to challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers for supremacy in the National League West, have gone 2-15 since Aug.
