Final: Diamondbacks 10, Phillies 2 ❖  Attendance: 19,282

Philadelphia, PA – The Diamondbacks hit six home runs, two from both Yasmany Tomas and Peter O'Brien, while the Phillies were haunted by defensive mishaps and a poor starting performance from Adam Morgan in tonight's loss to the Diamondbacks.

Philadelphia has lost four straight and eight of their last nine. In those eight losses, they have been outscored 71-21. They are 4-12 in the month of June and eight games under .500. Over the last four games, they've allowed 17 home runs, which is a franchise record. In addition, it's the first time since September 4-7, 1999 that the team has allowed 40 runs over a four-game stretch.

The Phillies and Diamondbacks play game two of their seires tomorrow at 3:05pm. Jerad Eickhoff will square off against Zach Greinke.

The Phillies got two early runs in the first. Cody Asche, hitting in the two spot, ripped a one-out double to right. Tommy Joseph walked and then two batters later, Cameron Rupp belted a two-run triple to right-center, making it a 2-0 game.

Adam Morgan got two quick outs in the second, but then allowed back-to-back singles to Jake Lamb and Nick Ahmed. D'Backs starter Robbie Ray hit a swinging bunt, out of the reach of Morgan, and he reached on a single that allowed a run to score thanks to a Cesar Hernandez error. Arizona tied it up in the next at-bat as Jean Segura hit a grounder to second and Cesar Hernandez let it go right through his legs, his second error of the night. Lamb scored on the play to make it 2-2.

Arizona took the lead in the fourth, courtesy of a solo homer off the bat of Yasmany Tomas. Peter O'Brien hit a three-run blast in the fifth to make it 6-2 and Tomas belted a solo shot, his second of the night, to extend the lead to five.

The Phillies threatened with two down in the sixth. Cameron Rupp, Freddy Galvis and Andres Blanco each singled, but Tyler Goeddel struck out swinging to end the inning.

Welington Castillo and Peter O'Brien greeted Elvis Araujo to the game in the seventh with back-to-back homers to make it 9-2. Paul Goldschmidt added a homer of his own in the eighth to make it a 10-2 game.
