Ryan Dempster struck out 10 Diamondbacks on Sunday but still gave up five runs in five innings to take a loss.
Dempster gave up six hits and a walk, but the Diamondbacks bunched their hits and scored five runs anyway. Dempster's surprisingly excellent 2008 campaign mostly held up, as he finishes with a 3.64 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. His 11-9 record was certainly disappointing, but that was more a function of the rest of the team underperforming than it was Dempster. |
