5-inning Record: 9-15-2. The Diamondbacks’ five-game unbeaten streak came to an end tonight at Camelback Ranch. But it wasn’t without merit.
In particular, an excellent outing by starting pitcher Michael Soroka, who was almost untouchable in his first start back from the World Baseball Classic. He went five scoreless innings, allowing just one single and a walk, while striking out eight. However, he didn’t get the win, being undone by a three-run sixth off Brandyn Garcia and Ryan Thompson.
To be fair, all three runs were unearned, due to a error by 2B Jacob Amaya. But Garcia still retired only two of six batters faced. Jonathan Loasiga was charged with the sole earned run in the eighth.
Arizona got all their productive offense out of the way early, scoring both runs in the top of the first. Pavin Smith opened the scoring with an RBI single. He stole second and was walked in later in the frame.
