"It's hard to swallow," catcher Miguel Montero said. "It's pretty bad. Unfortunately we couldn't keep the lead and that's what's been killing us. We got the lead early on and couldn't hold it, and then got the lead again in the 13th and they came back again and beat us. It's bad. It stinks, but it is what it is. We've got to do a better job on that."

Diamondbacks blow two late leads, lose in 13
Arizona jumped on Mets starter Saun Marcum in the first with a two-run homer by Pauld Goldschmidt, and then a RBI single by Aaaron Hill in the second. Unfortunately, that would be the last of the Diamondback scoring until the 13th. Meanwhile the Diamondback bullpen, with the sort of help from the umpires destined to renew the call for robo-umps, gave up single runs in the 7th, 8th, and 9th, the last one allowed by Putz in his first save opportunity since returning from the DL. The Diamondbacks went ahead on a solo HR by Cody Ross in the 13th, but Josh Collmenter was unable to get the third and final out before allowing two runs to score after being asked to intentionally walk a pair of batters to load the bases. The loss extends the Diamondback losing streak to four games, and it also extends the streak of no wins by a starter to 26 games.

Former Diamondback Ryan Roberts Has Big Night
Recalled from AAA to fill in for the injured Evan Longoria, Ryan Roberts went 3/5 with 2 HR and 3 RBI in a Tampa Bay pounding of the Astros in Houston.
Puig Finishes Historic First Month
Like him or not, it's hard to deny that Yasiel Puig has had anything other than nearly unparalleled success since coming up. Joining Joe DiMaggio as the only player ever to have 40+ hits and 4 HR in the first month of a career is pretty impressive no matter how one tries to spin it. That still doesn't make him an All-Star.
