The Arizona Diamondbacks walked out of American Family Field on Thursday with their second blowout loss in three games, falling 13-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers as a result of another poor pitching (and offensive) performance.

Amidst yet another brutally-ugly blowout loss, it's time to examine two minor bright spots, and address the ominous question that looms after yet another thrashing in Milwaukee.
