The Diamondbacks defeat the Tigers 7-5 to extend Detroit’s losing streak to nine games. The loss likely hurt a bit more than the others. Detroit took a 5-2 lead in the fourth inning, and held an advantage until the ninth, going into that inning up 5-3. The Diamondbacks then score four runs off Jason Foley, who came into the game with a 0.99 WHIP and a 1.37 ERA. Foley allowed four hits, a walk, and four runs, three earned, to take the loss and the blown save.

I heard Tigers manager A.J. Hinch talking pre-game about bringing a positive attitude to each day. It almost worked in this game.

The Diamondbacks are the fifth team in the majors to reach 40 wins.
