In the top of the sixth inning, the Brewers turned a 7-3 game into a 7-4 game, and very narrowly missed turning it into a 7-7 game. Spooked by how quickly runs can appear on the board, the Diamondbacks responded by scoring once in the sixth, and then twice more in the seventh.
Diamondbacks vs. Brewers: Chris Young Homers Again, Arizona Piles On
Chris Narveson was entrusted to handle the bottom of the seventh, and he got off to a pretty crappy start by walking Paul Goldschmidt on five pitches. Up next was a guy who made an out, but up next after that was Chris Young. Chris Young followed Ryan Roberts' grand slam in the first inning with a solo home run, and in the seventh, he ripped Narveson's fourth pitch of the at bat - an inside fastball - up and over the left field fence for his second dinger of the game.
That extended Arizona’s lead to 10-4, and the Brewers have but six outs remaining until they’re forced to go home for a Friday Game 5. Which is better than being forced to go somewhere else for a Friday Game 5. Who doesn’t love being at home!
...aaaaaand as I was writing this, Carlos Gomez lined a two-run homer in the top of the eighth. 10-6 now. See? Runs! Really fast! Randy Wolf and Joe Saunders can feel just a little bit better about themselves now.
