Arizona 8, Cincinnati 14
The Diamondbacks tabbed Tyler Gilbert to make an injury start against the Reds on Tuesday evening. Gilbert proved unable to finish two innings. Caleb Smith was better, but still allowed two more runs in 4 1⁄3 innings of work. This left the Snakes down by nine runs after only three innings. They closed the gap some with a five-run rally in the eighth. That’s when Noe Ramirez accepted the meltdown challenge, making it only two-thirds of an inning while surrendering five runs to Cincinnati. Arizona tacked on three more runs in the ninth, but it was far too little too late.
