McCarthy tosses gem, but D'backs lose

Arizona Diamondbacks



Brandon McCarthy just can't get a break when he's on the mound for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

McCarthy goes eight innings, allows two hits, one run and fans seven, but it was to no avail as Brad Ziegler comes on in the top of the ninth and allows four runs as the Washington Nationals defeat the Diamondbacks 5-1 today at Chase Field.

Arizona loses 2 of 3 to the Nationals and drop to 16-27 on the season. Aaron Hill homers for the D'backs lone run.
