Termine » better in the Hamilton first innings than hi

CINCINNATI -- Arizona isnt doing anything right during its season-breaking swoon.Third baseman Jake Lamb made a throwing error that set up three runs in the first inning, and the Diamondbacks managed only four hits during a 6-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday night that extended their slump.The Diamondbacks have lost 17 of 21, falling from third into the basement in the NL West.We need to play better, manager Chip Hale said. Its quite simple. Its not rocket science.Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer and barely missed another during one of Cincinnatis final home games before the non-waiver trade deadline. The Reds, who are in last place in the NL Central, have won three consecutive series for the first time, finding success against other struggling teams.Bruces 20th homer off Robbie Ray (5-9) on a two-strike pitch gave him the team lead with 69 RBI. He also doubled off the top of the wall in left field and thought he might have gotten another homer, but the call of a double was upheld after a video review.I should never give up an 0-2 hit, much less a homer, to a left-hander, Ray said. I tried to bury a slider and left it up and over the plate.The Reds got three unearned runs in the first, two of them on Lambs throwing error. Brandon Phillips doubled home a run to complete the inning.The Diamondbacks blew a chance to get out of the inning when they got Billy Hamilton caught in a rundown but botched it, allowing him to get back to third base safely.In the first inning, those three runs were on our defense, Hale said. We had him in a rundown. Those are plays that have got to be made at this level.Michael Lorenzen (1-0) took over in the fourth inning for Keyvius Sampson, who made his first start of the season after seven relief appearances. A starter last year, Sampson hadnt gone more than four innings this season. He gave up four hits in 4 1/3 innings, throwing 88 pitches.Arizonas Chris Owings was activated off the disabled list and singled home a run in the first inning. Owings had been sidelined by plantar fasciitis in his left foot.Arizona has managed only nine hits in the first two games of the series. Paul Goldschmidt and Lamb -- their 3-4 hitters -- are a combined 0 for 12.As a team, were not playing well enough, Goldschmidt said. The last two nights, its been the offense.The Diamondbacks were still fuming over leadoff hitter Jean Segura getting hit in the lower back by Dan Straily on Friday night. The plunking came on the first pitch of his next at-bat after a solo homer. Hale thought Straily hit him on purpose, and warned that theres going to be some retribution at some point.There were no issues on Saturday. Rays first pitch to Joey Votto in the first inning was an 82 mph breaking ball that sailed over his head for a wild pitch. Nobody from either team got hit.SLOW STARTThe first inning lasted 38 minutes and featured 61 combined pitches.STATSRay fanned a career-high 10 batters in five innings. Hes the second pitcher in team history to strike out at least 10 in five innings, joining Max Scherzer (Sept. 7, 2008 against the Dodgers). ... The Reds will try for their first three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks in Cincinnati since 2007. ... Votto has hit safely in all eight games since the All-Star break.YOU SHOULD BE DANCINGJohn Travolta and Kelly Preston watched the game from a suite. Travolta was shown on the videoboard while Saturday Night Fever played in the middle of the eighth.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Placed INF Nick Ahmed on the 15-day DL with a sore right hip. He started at shortstop on Friday and went 0 for 2 with a walk during Cincinnatis 6-2 win. Hale said Ahmeds hip has been bothering him and was especially sore during the game Friday.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Godley (2-1) gave up four runs in five innings of a 5-1 loss to the Blue Jays on July 19.

Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. 9Colin de Grandhomme (two matches, nine wickets at 12.22, 98 runs at 32.66) That rare Test cricketer whose batting average may be higher than the number of words he speaks in a day, it was with his floating lotus petal deliveries that the big man made his mark, claiming 6 for 41 at Hagley Oval. He wont always have such friendly surfaces to bowl on, but his cultured hitting will also be more effective on flatter tracks. Also seems an attitude-appropriate addition to this New Zealand team, who may be keen to get their Nobel Peace Prize campaign back on track after the exit of Brendon McCullum.8Tim Southee (two matches, 13 wickets at 16.38) Often, its Tim Southees big-swinging shtick that defines home series, and although he did not get much movement in the air against Pakistan, there was plenty off the seam to put batsmen in trouble. He claimed crucial wickets at Hagley Oval, then when partner-in-crime Trent Boult was ruled out of the Hamilton Test, took Boults customary share of the wickets in the second game as well. An impressive return from injury.Ross Taylor (two matches, 150 runs at 75) Beset by bad form, McCullum revelations and a pterygium in his eye, Taylor needed a good Test in this series, and he got it in Hamilton. His first-innings salvo punctured the Pakistan bowlers momentum, and the second innings-ton virtually pushed the opposition out of the match. His was the only triple-figure score of the series.Jeet Raval (two matches, 148 runs at 49.33) The latest batsman charged with breaking the Great New Zealand Openers Curse, Jeet Raval struck a composed tone at the crease in Christchurch, and inspired confidence in the slip cordon (though he did drop one of the eight chances that came his way through the series). Strong through the leg side, with decent judgement outside off, he may already have done enough to earn a stable place through the long home summer.7Neil Wagner (two matches, nine wickets at 18.11) Curtly Ambrose had a brutal bouncer. Jeff Thompsons short ball endangered lives. Neil Wagner possibly bowls more short deliveries than either of them, but his bouncers are more annoying than menacing - like an insurance salesman who wont stop calling at strange hours. Still, he has become the second-fastest New Zealand bowler to 100 Test scalps, and he is often talked about like some kind of Platonic ideal of a team man, so who could possibly argue?Trent Boult (one match, five wickets at 15.2) Claimed the key wicket of Azhar Ali in the second innings at Hagley Oval, aand was in general a tirelessly accurate performer in that match.ddddddddddddHe had played 44 Tests in a row until a knee injury forced him out of the Hamilton game.6BJ Watling (two matches, 82 runs at 82, 10 catches) Not a lot was required of him with the bat in this series, but BJ Watling batted with the tail with workmanlike diligence. He was also immaculate behind the stumps. That he does not put on that wicketkeepers expression of gobsmacked disbelief when an appeal is turned down, is a minor grouse.5Kane Williamson (two matches, 120 runs at 30) An assured 61 in the chase of 105 at Hagley Oval was Kane Williamsons biggest batting contribution, though his second-innings 42 in Hamilton was important as well. So comfortable were New Zealand throughout this series, he was not really tested as a captain. Nevertheless, he has now got four wins on his record, to go with the three away losses.Mitchell Santner (one match, 16 runs at 16, two wickets at 31) He was unrequired with the ball for much of the Hamilton Test, but made some glorious fielding porn, sliding beatifically as to stop balls near the boundary. His two wickets on day five sparked Pakistans collapse, even if he seemed slightly confused as to how he got those scalps.4Tom Latham (two matches, 90 at 22.5) He was thrice dismissed cheaply by Mohammad Amir, but it was such high-quality bowling at times, that Latham might be forgiven. The second-innings 80 in Hamilton saved his series stats, and it was also a vital knock for the team. It was on the foundation Latham had provided that Taylor would later prosper.Henry Nicholls (two matches, 69 at 23) He shared a crucial 65-run stand with Raval at Hagley Oval to help New Zealand take control of that Test. Reached for a short, wide ball like he was trying to break a ceiling cobweb in his final innings, to get himself out. Took two good catches on day five at Hamilton, though he had also fluffed a run-out earlier in the game.3Todd Astle (one match, 0 wickets) On a Hagley track completely unsuited to spinners, he delivered four tight but unmemorable overs. Was replaced when Santner regained fitness.Matt Henry (one match, one wicket at 68) Bowled better in the Hamilton first innings than his figures suggest, and wound up performing a supporting role to Wagner and Southee most of the time. He is likely to get further Test opportunities through the summer.
