Called in to protect a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning with a runner on second and two outs, Diaz instead uncorked a wild pitch and a walk before Rowdy Tellez roped a ground-rule double to tie the game. The right-hander escaped that jam, but he then gave up the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. It was Diaz's third blown save of the season and his first since July 20, ending a stretch of seven straight save conversions, but he's stumbling toward the finish line on the regular season -- he's been tagged for runs in four of his last 10 appearances, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings over that stretch.
