The D-backs score their first run on a strange play. A one-hop single to RF
turns into a force out, but a run scores.

And again, we have the bases loaded, with one out, here in the 5th.

The D-backs have stranded 11 through the first 4 innings.

A sac fly drives in the tying run.

And a throw into the dugout makes it 3-2 D-backs.

It's pouring rain in the bottom of the 5th with 2 outs.

One more out and it's an official game.

It's an official game, with a 3-2 lead, thanks to a Yankee error.

The fact that both the Dbacks and the Yankees have an off day tomorrow makes me nervous.

I misquoted earlier when I said we had left 11 on base. I got that from the lineup stats.

But the team LOB figure is at 8. Either way, it is a problem for the D-backs.

We should really have more than a 1-run league against those two Yankee pitchers.

They just announced that Zack Greinke has been traded to the Astros.

He won't like that. He's too good a hitter to be in a DH league.

A bobble by Marte, at 2B after starting the game in CF, gets the runner out at 1B.
But the Yankees get an insurance run, here in the 8th. 5-3 Yankees with one out
and a runner on 2B. But now a single and it's 6-3 Yankees.

Oh, the D-backs pathetic bullpen.

Why don't we talk about how awful McFarland and Andriese have been in relief this season? I don't want to see those bums pitching for us next season.

Now it's 7-3 Yankees. Don't they have enough insurance runs?

Yup, Broseph, it's McFarland in there giving up the runs.

Fitting end to Zack Greinke era - leaves with the lead, only for bullpen to blow it

They announced he had 9 no-decisions this season.

And Locastro with his first HR and his family in the stands to make it 7-4.

Jones pinch-hitting just misses a HR with a long foul.
