Christian Walker gave the Diamondbacks a rare early lead when he launched a solo home run in the second inning. Then, the wheels fell off in the fourth inning for Jon Duplantier and Alex Young was only able to add gasoline to the fire. Arizona’s offense then went to sleep, managing only one more run in the game.
