Diamondbacks 2, San Francisco 7: Out of Gas
After throwing 196 pitches in the first three games, the bullpen was unable to survive another Mitch Bratt start….
The Diamondbacks faced a 7-2 defeat at the hands of the San Francisco Giants in a rare Saturday doubleheader. Mitch Bratt started the evening but struggled early on, walking Jonah Cox and earning a mound visit. Despite a solid first inning performance, the Diamondbacks fell behind 1-0, 1-1, and ultimately 4-1. The bullpen was unable to hold onto the slim lead in the fifth inning, allowing three runs to score.
Key contributors for the Giants included Yunior Marte, who walked the first batter and later got two hits, and Geraldo Carrillo, who was ineffective with a 2.00 ERA in 2.5 innings pitched.
