Down The Duaner, A Glove Story: D'Backs 5, Dodgers 4
So, yeah, after Duaner gave up the "triple" (nitwit), Chad Tracy cashed him in (4-3) and the clearly rattled Sanchez gave up a solo shot to ... Javier Vazquez.
I'm still wiping the "yick" off.
The top of the order just stank like month old gym socks, going a collective 2-18. Antonio Perez, hitting an improbable .516 in 31 AB, clearly needs to move up in the order until he Peter Principles himself out of the job. But -- 12 hits for the Blue on the night versus five for the Snakes.
Dodgers pitching -- including young Derek Thompson, whose near-win and shiny scoreboard numbers covered up obvious laboring on the mound -- was actually decent (outside the collapsing Carrara), if not good.
Vazquez: shaky, by his lights, for most of the night, but helped out by his offense and his own bat. And another solid outing for the Diamondbacks' bullpen, with Lopez and Cormier giving up nothing in two innings.
