Diamondbacks lose to Phillies, finish 4-6 on road trip


No extra innings in this one.

Just a short, but not so sweet 9-5 loss to the Phillies in Philadelphia today as the Arizona Diamondbacks  pack their bags and head home after a frustrating 4-6 road trip.

Even Patrick Corbin (13-4) couldn't save the D' backs this afternoon. Corbin goes 5 1/3, allows nine runs (eight earned) on seven hits. Most of the D'backs' offense came from their outfielders today as Tony Campano, Adam Eaton and A.J. Pollack combine for six hits, all five of the runs, and four of the five RBIs. Pollack had three hits and drove in three runs, but the Phillies' Roy Halladay (3-4) wins in his first start since May 5.

Arizona falls to 66-63 and now needs some home cooking. Unfortunately, they are already in a pressure cooker!
