D-Backs weather shaky 9th inning: "'I was uncomfortable with the walks,' Melvin said of Julio. 'He's still our closer; I just didn't feel like he had good command, and that's why I went with someone else.'
With the Diamondbacks ahead 5-1 entering the ninth - thanks in part to seven impressive innings by starter Claudio Vargas, who also chipped in a key two-run double in the fifth - Melvin called on Julio to end things."
Some would say using your closer in a non-save situation in back-to-back games was the mistake.
