Chase Field, Phoenix, AZ
D-backs' late-inning magic runs out vs. NatsPHOENIX -- The D-backs flirted with danger for the second straight game, and this time they paid the price as the Nationals scored three run...
Josh Rojas - Three walks, stolen base in lossRojas went 0-for-3 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.
ImpactRojas hadn't drawn a walk since April 23, and he hit just .190 (4-for-21) in that span. The infielder is still regularly hitting leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, but he has a modest .263/.315/.343 slash line through 111 plate appearances this season. He's added 18 BI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases, but he's yet to hit a home run in 28 contests.

Geraldo Perdomo - Two steals SundayPerdomo went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.
ImpactPerdomo has shown solid plate discipline with four walks over his last three games, but he's gone 0-for-5 in that span. His steals Sunday were his first since April 4. The shortstop is slashing .380/.470/.592 with two home runs, three thefts, 17 RBI and 15 runs scored through 87 plate appearances while playing in a strong-side platoon role. Nick Ahmed starts at shortstop versus southpaws.

Christian Walker - Extends hitting streak with homerWalker went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.
ImpactWalker put the Diamondbacks ahead 2-1 with his fourth-inning solo shot. He's hit safely in five straight games, going 10-for-23 (.435) in that span. The first baseman is up to eight homers, 26 RBI, 19 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles while slashing .282/.319/.532 through 32 contests. He's never hit better than .271 in a season, but there's no denying he's hot right now.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. - Homers twice in lossGurriel went 2-for-3 with two home runs, two walks, four RBI and four runs scored in Sunday's 9-8 loss to the Nationals.
ImpactGurriel was excellent from the No. 6 spot in the order, but all of his production went to waste with a late blown lead. He delivered a solo shot in the second inning and a three-run blast in the fifth. The 29-year-old has four homers over his last three games after hitting just one long ball in April. The veteran is slashing .310/.363/.522 with 19 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and a stolen base through 30 contests this season.

Ryne Nelson - Decent in no-decisionNelson allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings versus the Nationals on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.
ImpactNelson faded in the fifth inning, allowing a pair of runs, but Arizona regained the lead in their half of the frame. He would be denied the win when Miguel Castro blew the save in the ninth. This was the first time Nelson had allowed fewer than four runs in his last four starts. He has a rough 6.00 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 22:10 K:BB through 36 innings over seven starts this season. The 25-year-old is projected for a home start versus the Giants during next weekend's four-game set.
