The Diamondbacks fell short in a heartbreaker, losing 3-2 in extra innings to the Pirates in a crucial series opener. Despite Merrill Kelly’s strong outing and Max Kepler’s two-run hit, Arizona went just 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position, squandering key chances. A costly throwing error by Kelly and a shaky relief pitcher handed the Pirates the lead, then the walk-off win in the 10th. The loss leaves Arizona tied for the third wild-card spot in the NL — a tight race where every game counts. Tonight’s rematch against the Pirates features Brandon Pfaadt on the mound; Arizona needs to bounce back fast.
