Summary
The Arizona Diamondbacks let another winnable game slip away Friday night, falling to the St. Louis Cardinals after a string of costly mistakes. Merrill Kelly battled through five innings and allowed just one earned run despite shaky defense behind him, but an early error by Ketel Marte, a brutal baserunning blunder from Jorge Barrosa in the ninth, and another disastrous outing from Paul Sewald proved too much to overcome. It didn’t help that Arizona's offense went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position, wasting countless scoring opportunities in a frustrating loss. Dalton Feely from Jomboy joins us in studio to break down everything that went wrong, discuss Torey Lovullo’s growing frustration with the team's sloppy play, and debate whether the D-backs are beating themselves more than their opponents. Plus, in an effort to lift Damon’s spirits after another painful loss, we put him to the test with a surprisingly difficult dog trivia quiz.
