Bobby Miller struggles, and Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman fail to deliver in the Dodgers' 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 2 of the NLDS.
Opportunity knocked and knocked and knocked Monday night. Time after frustrating time, the Dodgers failed to answer. In a contest the club felt like it had to have, already trailing the Arizona Diamondbacks by a game in the National League Division Series, chances repeatedly arose for the Dodgers to erase an early deficit, avoid a daunting two-game hole in the best-of-five playoff series, and drag themselves back into the October fight.
Martinez hammered a center-cut fastball from Zac Gallen — one of several down-the-middle pitches Gallen had dared the Dodgers with early on — to right field for a solo home run that made it 3-1. That set the stage for several late-game opportunities for the Dodgers, who brought the tying run to the plate in each of the next four innings. Every time, though, they came up empty. The biggest blunder came in the fifth, following a one-out walk from Outman and single from Miguel Rojas.
