Max Scherzer didn’t have the outing that he was hoping for as he was roughed up for five runs in only four innings of action. Only two of the five runs were earned however. Scherzer was filling in for Doug Davis who is expected to be back in the next week or so. This could have been Scherzer’s only start since Davis will soon be back.
Scherzer wasn’t the only Diamondbacks pitcher to struggle as Edgar Gonzalez gave up four runs, Brandon Medders and Doug Slaten gave up a run each as well.
Chris Snyder and Stephen Drew were the only Diamondback players to record an RBI in the game. Snyder hit a solo home run in the seventh inning and Drew had a RBI triple in the second inning.
The Diamondbacks are still playing good baseball, and I look for them to bounce back and beat the Phillies on Tuesday.
