Runners on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out, and predictably the D-Backs get nothing.

Lovullo's teams have to be the worst ever with a runner on 3rd and less than two outs.

Up 1-0 about the only way the D-Backs know how to score an earned run - a home run.

Peralta with a double, Walker with a Sac Fly to advance Peralta. Squeeze play to score

Gallen has been Greg Maddux like. Brilliant.

Now the obvious call would be Guerra in the 8th and Archie in the 9th.

How much do you want to bet that isn't what Torey does?...

And, sure enough, Torey instead brings in Rondon, with the E.R.A. over 10. Ridiculous.

With Bradley unavailable I am guessing he was saving Guerra for the 9th.

Who said Bradley was unavailable? In any event, Rondon is the LAST guy to bring in. In fact, I am surprised he wasn't cut when they brought back Lopez.

Rondon can’t find the plate.

He hasn't been able to find the plate all year. He is the pitcher equivalent of Jake Lamb. Should have been cut but keeps getting chance after after chance to blow it.
