Ryan Mattheus gave up a leadoff walk in the bottom of the tenth. A single, bunt, intentional walk and fly ball later, the Arizona Diamondbacks had won the series.
The good news is that Aroldis Chapman was warmed up and available to pitch the 11th inning if the Reds got the lead.
Anthony DeSclafani was in trouble all day but managed to keep the damage under control, giving the offense a chance to win. The young pitcher gave up three runs in six innings, striking out three and walking one (the pitcher). Kevin Michell wrote about DeSclafani’s development this week.
