Diamondbacks News
The Arizona Diamondbacks' hopes for a playoff push took a hit last night as they fell 3-2 in 10 innings to the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking their latest setback in a season full of near misses. Merrill Kelly pitched well but was undone by a throwing error that allowed a critical run to score, highlighting the small mistakes that continue to loom large in close games. While Max Kepler's early contribution gave the D-backs a 2-0 lead, their struggles with runners in scoring position once again proved to be their Achilles' heel. At 55-52, the D-backs now face a daunting road ahead, desperately needing to turn their fortunes around as the pressure mounts in the Wild Card race.
