Diamondbacks 3, Reds 2

Reds fell 3-2 to the Snakes in what was easily the most frustrating loss of the year for the Reds.

Bronson Arroyo went seven innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He walked two and struck out four. But he was disappointed that he was unable to hold the 2-0 lead the Reds gave him.

“That’s one you hate to see slip away after you've had the lead so long,” Arroyo said. “I weathered the storm twice. But they did what they had to do. They got the guy on base, got him over and got him in.”

The D-Backs ended up winning on Orlando Hudson's two-out, opposite-field home run in the eighth off Kirk Saarloos. After the game, Saarloos said he threw a pitch a bit too fat. "It was 3-2. I didn't want to walk him."

The count was actually 2-1.

“It’s tough to come back from a late-inning home run,” Saarloos said. “We only had three outs left.”

The game ended on a load out from Brandon Phillips with a runner on. Phillips was seething as he left the field. He had to two hits and two walks in his previous four plate appearances. Got like a guy who plays the game with that kind of emotion.
