The crew discussed whether it was Quintana just being effective and doing his job in missing barrels, or if it was more on the DBacks offense having a poor approach throughout the entire 9 inning = MultiplyWhile the offense was very much lacking to start this 3 game series, a 3 run deficit is nothing impossible to comeback from, especially for this offense who seems to do a bulk of their scoring in the back end of games here early on, but that hope was quickly dashed as Joe Mantiply allowed 4 runs in the top of the 9th as he has not looked very solid at all to start his 2025 seasonof the Valley of the SunWith 2 starts as a Diamondback under Corbin Burnes belt, he made his Dbacks Home debut look a little more Burnes-esque as he logged his first Quality Start of 2025, going 6 IP with only 3 ER on 88 pitches.
