The Diamondbacks have their backs against the wall as they lost game three last night and they now face the tough task of winning four straight games to advance to the World Series. You have to feel for Livan Hernandez because he threw a nice game but made one mistake in his sixth inning of work. He gave up a solo homer to Matt Holliday in the first inning but Mark Reynolds tied it up with a solo homer in the fourth. Then in the sixth, Hernandez hung up a curve ball to Yorvit Torrealba and he took it deep with a three run shot.
Three relievers combined to hold the Rockies in three shutout innings but the Rockies pen was just as good as the Diamondbacks were stifled. It’ll all be up to rookie starter Micah Owings tonight. Franklin Morales gets the start for the Rockies.
