It seems Senzatela has not been the same since his return from the bullpen role. I was wondering if he would make it out of the first inning the way it was going. 

Diaz looks nothing like the guy we saw glimpses of prior to his Tommy John other than he can hit triple digits on occasion.  There is no reason for him to be up at this level right now. We already have one Lyles and don't need another. 

I sort of figured the offense would struggle as they typically do on the start of a road trip but it looked pretty pathetic especially with it being on ESPN. 

Now the team has lost 11 of its last 13 road games. Not the direction you want to head in a tightening race
