Inside the Box: Sloppy D-backs fall in return

After every Arizona Diamondbacks game we’ll examine the
box score and
provide you with instant analysis. So it’s time to go
Inside the Box for July
15, 2011: Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 4

The Good:

As has been the case seemingly all season, the
Diamondbacks rallied from a
6-0 deficit to get to a point where the tying run was at
the plate in the ninth
inning. They got there because of some big hits, including
a three-run home
run by Xavier Nady in the seventh.

The Bad:

The Diamondbacks were sloppy, plain and simple. Nady
committed an error
that led to a run while Willie Bloomquist was thrown out
on the bases twice
(once at home, once being picked off at first).

Aaron Heilman struggled again, giving up a pair of runs in
his one inning of
work. The two he gave up proved to be the difference.

The Funky:

None of the four runs the D-backs scored against the
Dodgers were earned.
