Food poisoning keeps Christian Walker out of D-Backs' lineup
Eddie Rosario’s grand slam in the top of the ninth inning lifted the Atlanta Braves to an 8-5 win on Sunday afternoon, a heartbreaking outcome for a Diamondbacks team that found itself one out away from a series victory against a heavyweight in the National League.
The loss completed a 6-4 homestand for the Diamondbacks, who dropped a pair of series to the Braves and Boston Red Sox and completed their first sweep of the year, taking four from the Colorado Rockies. But he felt like he was on the ropes for much of the outing, working out of trouble for much of the day. He had only one 1-2-3 inning, when he retired the side in order in the third. Gallen also clearly thought he should have been getting more calls on the edges that were instead going for Braves’ hitters.With two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the third inning, Braves starter Mike Soroka delivered a fastball spotted up on the outside corner to Corbin Carroll.
