The finale on Sunday was not much better for the Friars as they saw a 2-0 lead quickly disappear in the 3rd. The Diamondbacks got 5 hits with runners in scoring position that allowed them to score 8 runs total. Didi Gregorius scored 2 of the runs on 2 hits and also had an RBI.

Odrisamer Despaigne did not have his worst outing of the season but it was not near his best either. He allowed 3 runs in less than 6 innings and walked 3. Five runs scored with him on the hill, but only 3 were earned. Nick Vincent had a rough outing, also allowing 3 runs. He only retired one batter on 16 pitches. Gregorius and Pacheco sealed the deal with RBI singles in the 8th.
