Veteran closer Greg Holland is enjoying a strong bounce-back season with the Arizona Diamondbacks but suffered a major setback when he walked four straight batters to play a significant role in the Los Angeles Dodgers completing yet another walk-off win.
Holland had the Dodgers down to their final strike before suddenly losing all command. Diamondbacks manager Torey Luvollo stuck with his closer until Holland put Matt Beaty on, bringing in the tying run.
A pitching change couldn’t save the D-Backs, however, as T.J. McFarland promptly walked Cody Bellinger to bring in the game-winning run and give the Dodgers a piece of franchise and MLB history.
