1-33. That is the Arizona Diamondbacks record when trailing a game by two or more runs at any point in the game. It seems almost impossible that they have failed to come back in these situations in more than just one game. Last year they were 20-67 in that situation. But they indeed lost 3-1 to the Nationals on Wednesday after holding a 1-0 lead.
Prior to Moreno's RBI walk there was a strange play in which Eugenio Suarez hit a line drive off the glove of shortstop Nasim Nunez. He dropped the ball, but somehow recovered and threw home to nab Lourdes Gurriel Jr at the plate. That pivotal play, plus a strike out from Blaze Alexander and a pop out by Geraldo Perdomo ended the D-backs best chance to put up a crooked number.
Another base hit and a walk in the 7th inning marked the end of Pfaadt's outing. After he was relieved by Kevin Ginkel, former Diamondback Illdemaro Vargas ripped a base hit through the hole into right to score the Nationals third run. There weren't actually that many, outside of the fourth inning. The D-backs had just four hits and drew only three walks. They were 0-5 with runners in scoring position and left five men on base.
