D-backs drop series finale, look forward to home Opening Day
“We won a lot of innings of baseball over the course of this three-game series,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “Yet we’re 0-3, so that’s frustrating. It’s very frustrating. This was a tough series, no doubt about it. I did not think we would be coming home 0-3, but we are. We’ve got to understand why it happened, accept why it happened, get better, and get ready for a very, very spirited Monday Opening Day. Our crowd will be waiting for us. We can’t wait to come home.”
