The teams will meet again Tuesday evening
The Diamondbacks’ loss on Tuesday was just the latest debacle. They led, 5-1, when the eighth inning began. After two batters — a single and a homer — it was 5-3.
“That’s a game we should have won,” Rojas said. “I made three errors today, cost us three, four runs. I’m a big reason we lost that game.” “It’s always frustrating,” first baseman Christian Walker said. “A loss is a loss, it doesn’t matter how it happens. It’s a team effort. A team like that, you’ve got to keep scoring. Four runs is not enough. They’ve got a good offense, especially at home. You’ve got to keep hammering.”
Lovullo did not deny what seems obvious: The Diamondbacks lose games at Dodger Stadium in ways that cannot be explained only by a difference in talent. He said he respected what the Dodgers have accomplished over the years, how good of a team they have assembled.
