D-backs' Streak Snapped By Phillies
The Arizona Diamondbacks' 7-game winning streak came to an end on Tuesday, as they fell 5-2 to the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

The loss, however, is a reminder that even the best teams in the league can have an off day. The D-backs will need to regroup and refocus if they hope to get back on track.
The Phillies, on the other hand, will look to build on their win and get back to their winning ways.
The game was marked by a few notable plays, including a bases-loaded double by Phillies' first baseman Rhys Hoskins, which gave the team a 3-0 lead in the 4th inning.
