Lackluster Arizona Diamondbacks fall to Atlanta Braves

Arizona Diamondbacks

Over their previous nine games, the Diamondbacks had played well enough to be undefeated, their only losses coming in three games in which their closer blew a save.

That streak, of sorts, came to an end on Tuesday night. The Diamondbacks lost and Paul Sewald had nothing to do with it.

Their offense could not come up with a big hit off a tough pitcher. Their defense made a key defensive mistake. Their ace, Zac Gallen, labored through a long second inning, then might have been left in one batter too long in the sixth.
