Diamondbacks lose lead with late home runs from Brewers, fall in 10 innings
For a team that has been creeping ever closer to the .500 mark in recent weeks — Saturday’s loss dropped them to 63-69 — the bullpen’s woes raise questions with frustrating answers.
“When you’re sitting in my seat, that can be crazy making,” he said. “I try to keep it real steady. But we’ll review all that at the end of the year. The coulda, shoulda, woulda game is the one that will make me lose sleep and I try to sleep well at night.”“I know what’s going on; I know the numbers,” he said. “We’ve got nothing else we can do. We’ve got to turn to the guys that we have and we’re going to go after it with those guys.
Left-hander Joe Mantiply, who has been the club’s best reliever this season, served up the go-ahead blast in the 10th, a two-run shot that Tyrone Taylor deposited into the left-field seats. Mantiply pitched so well in the first half he earned a spot on the NL All-Star team, a rarity for a non-closer. But admitted on Saturday night his recent struggles — and the Taylor home run in particular — have dealt a blow to his confidence.
