The Arizona Diamondbacks just suffered a tough loss, and fans are expressing frustration over how the game ended. The D’backs could not score against Yoshinobu Yamamoto after he tossed seven scoreless innings. The Dodgers, on the other hand, scored one run and maintained a lead.
Arizona fought hard, tied the game 1-1, and forced the Dodgers into an extra-innings battle. Corbin Carroll stepped up to the plate and smashed a two-run homer to give the team a 3-1 lead. However, the bullpen was a disaster, and the Dodgers won 4-3.
Despite intentionally walking Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, the Diamondbacks suffered a heartbreaking loss. Fans took to social media to lash out at the team for their defeat. Here are some reactions from X.
“This team is washed man. Not making the playoffs,” one fan wrote

Arizona Diamondbacks Continue Their Struggle To Climb Up The NL West
The competition in the NL West keeps getting tougher as the Dodgers, Giants, and Padres dominate. The D’backs are four games behind the Dodgers, who sit at the top of the division. The Padres and Giants are playing better baseball, and the only team worse than Arizona is the Rockies.
The playoffs will be intense since the Diamondbacks have three teams to beat. The Diamondbacks must address their bullpen issues or add a couple of strong relievers to strengthen their bullpen. Both teams will look forward to securing a series win as they face off in the finals tomorrow.
Despite their struggles, the D’backs are ranked No. 14 in the Week 8 MLB power rankings. Arizona will turn to Corbin Burnes against the Dodgers’ Dustin May for Game 3.
