So I started with dessert first because the ice cream sandwiches here melt surprisingly quickly. One moment it’s rock solid and the next it’s a sticky puddle. Lucky, I managed to wolf it down before the structural integrity of the sandwich was completely lost. The main dish tonight (Chicken Philly) was on the smaller side in terms of previous main dishes but it was tasty. The bread was a tad soggy but the bun-to-meat ratio was excellent. I actually enjoyed the snack-size portion as I was still pretty full from lunch.
I opted to save the Penne Pasta Salad for lunch tomorrow.
Ahmed had great career numbers against Anderson coming into tonight and he shows it off with a double off the lefty. Nothing comes of it as Rojas and Young come up empty.
Calhoun F9, Ahmed 2B, Rojas flies out (Ahmed tags), Young records an out
Bottom 2nd
Bart reaches on an error but nothing notable
Bart E5, Dubon grounds into a double play, Yaz flies out
Ketel Marte is a problem for the Giants. He drives in a run with his second double on the night. Anderson and Bart struggle with a little communication on Young’s pop out but the out is recorded
Varsho 1B, Locastro sac bunt, Marte 2B, Walker walks, Escobar flies out, Young pops out
Score: Diamondbacks 2, Giants 1
Bottom 3rd
A slight misplay by Marte in center, but Dickerson hit the ball hard (91.4 mph) and Solano comes up clutch to score Dick. Crawford ends the inning again.
Dickerson 2B, Longoria grounds out but Dick advances, Belt BB, Flores K on a big curveball, Solano legs out a single for Dick to score-tying up the game, Crawford ground out.
Great piece of hitting by Escobar results with men on second and third with no outs. Calhoun & Ahmed bring them in to score; Suarez puts out the fire quickly to limit the damage.
Walker BB, Escobar 2B, Calhoun Sac fly, Ahmed 1B [Andrew Suarez pitching], Rojas FC, Young flies
Score: Diamondbacks 6, Giants 3
Bottom 5th – Yoan Lopez pitching
Flores with his first hit of the night! Crawford beats the shift and Flores comes on in from 2nd!
Yaz’s single is a really whacky ground ball that turned into a pop-out that turned into a base hit. Dick’s walk lead us to have 2 men on with 1 out, but Longo…
Selman looking like a solid bullpen arm – slide/Fastball mix was effective
Escobar pops out. Calhoun K, Ahmed pops out
Bottom 7th – Hector Rondon pitching
Belt bomb. He’s been on FIRE lately
Belt HR, Flores K, Solano F7, Crawford F8
BELT BOMB 1 RUN GAME LET'S GOOOO 💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
Dubon with another spectacular catch in center! Selman
Rojas F8, Young F9, Varsho F7
Bottom 8th – Stefan Crichton pitching
Joey Bart singles but is pinch ran for by Steven Duggar. Bases chucked with no outs and Dick up. Dubon loses the street cred he got from the defense with a base runner blunder, 2 outs
