Quick Quotes

It Happened Last Night
Chase Anderson was taken deep to open the game, but the Arizona right-hander had a strong outing nonetheless, striking out 10 in six innings of one-hit work. Paul Goldschmidt tied the affair in the second inning with his fourth home run in as many nights. Then things fell apart in the eighth inning when technical difficulties contributed to Arizona's pitching woes. Matt Reynnolds surrendered a three-run shot in the eighth inning when he was called into the game despite having not been warmed up due to a faulty bullpen phone.
