Every other team in the NL West lost, so the Dodgers had a golden chance to extend their lead to 2 games (and pick up ground on everyone else). We were leading 3-1 going into the bottom of the 8th inning, but exited the inning trailing 4-3. We scratched out a run in the 9th to tie the game and things remained at 4-4 until the 17th inning. (Meanwhile, we left tons of people on base, couldn't hit a lick with runners in scoring position, and basically squandered tons of opportunities to score throughout the entire game. In one inning, we had a leadoff triple and couldn't score.) Then, with two outs, we lost when our pitcher walked the batter with the based loaded (after having walked the previous two people). Suck.
(Note added on 6/18: This was our longest game in 10 years.)
