The Arizona Diamondbacks blew two different leads and lost to the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 5-4 on Wednesday night. It was really a game that the Diamondbacks should have won as they out hit the Phillies 13-7 and had the better starting pitching performance.
Chad Qualls only pitched 2/3’s of an inning and gave up two hits and two runs to take the loss. Qualls is now 0-3 on the season. Diamondbacks starting pitcher Micah Owings pitched the first seven innings of the game and gave up four hits and three runs to get the no decision. Owings did give up a two run home run that raelly hurt him and the Diamondbacks.
Chris Young had a solo home run in the fifth inning for the Diamondbacks only home run in the game. Conor Jackson who was celebrating his birthday led the team with two rbi before leaving the game after colliding with Shane Victorino in the eighth inning. Jackson said he was just a little dizzy but will be fine. Stephen Drew and Young both had one rbi in the game.
