The offense came around at just the nick of time Wednesday night for Diamondbacks starter Rubby De La Rosa.
De La Rosa was out of the game after five innings, having thrown just 54 of 101 pitches for strikes, when his team put up a four-spot to provide him with his ninth win. He allowed two hits with three walks and three strikeouts.
He struggled only in the first on a double, two walks and two sacrifice flies. He then retired 13 of the next 15 batters he faced.
The inconsistent De La Rosa has given up 17 runs in the last 34 2/3 innings to inch his ERA up to 4.56.
