There were several frustrating parts to the Diamondbacks’ 5-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Saturday, the club’s fourth consecutive defeat and third straight one-run loss to the Padres, but it was difficult for manager Torey Lovullo to pick just one after the game.
Was it Nick Ahmed grounding into a tough-luck, 1-2-3 double play with the bases loaded in the sixth inning?
Or was it earlier that inning when Jarrod Dyson, trying to steal an extra 90 feet, was caught in no-man’s land between second and third base?
Perhaps it was in the seventh inning, when, after the Diamondbacks erased a 4-0 deficit to tie the game, Matt Andriese gave up the go-ahead home run to Franmil Reyes.
