Wed Jul 26 201721:57C Chris Iannetta normally catches LHP Patrick Corbin
C Chris Iannetta normally catches LHP Patrick Corbin. With Corbin pitching Wednesday in a day game following a night game, Jeff Mathis was his catcher. "I know the game planning will be very similar," manager Torey Lovullo said. "C.I. (Iannetta) has a done a great job with Patrick getting him through moments, but it's really Patrick making the pitches, executing." Corbin lasted six innings, surrendering two runs in his second successive win.

C Chris Iannetta's costly two-base, two-run throwing error quickly transformed a 4-2 Braves lead into a 6-2 lead in the seventh inning of Atlanta's 8-3 victory Tuesday night. 2B Brandon Drury also had a throwing error that led to a run in the fourth. Going into the game, the Diamondbacks had only three errors in 16 games since July 4. "Breakdown in a couple of areas hurt us," manager Torey Lovullo said. "Both errors hurt us, both errors led to runs. Unfortunately that (Iannetta error) was a big moment, a 4-2 game turned into a 6-2 game."

C Chris Iannetta had a career-high seven RBIs while hitting second for the first time this season. His two-run homer gave Arizona a 4-3 lead it never lost in the fifth inning, and he had a three-run double in the sixth and a two-run double in the eighth. "I wanted to pile some real good right-handed hitters on top of one another," manager Torey Lovullo said. "Bounced around the idea for several days. Makes sense to me to get 'C.I.' a chance to get several at-bats hitting in front" of 1B Paul Goldschmidt. Iannetta had RBIs in five consecutive games on the recent road trip and has six homers in his last 11 games. He hit second for the fourth time in his career. "These are the days you play baseball for, the chance to contribute and you have fun while doing it. I feel like a kid again."

C Chris Iannetta duplicated his feat of Friday when his two-out, ninth-inning homer tied the game against Milwaukee. Arizona went on to win in 10.

"I was just trying to get a pitch to hit or get on base," Iannetta said. "One or the other. Just try to extend the inning."

C Chris Iannetta's homer in the third inning extended his disabled-list interrupted hitting streak to five straight games (5-for-18). Iannetta has reached base in 12 of his 15 starts this season.

C Chris Iannetta was placed on the 7-day concussion disabled list before Sunday's game, when RHP Silvino Bracho was added to the roster. Iannetta took stitches in his upper lip and suffered fractured teeth and a fractured nose when he was hit in the mound by a pitch Friday. "We don't want to rush through any part of this," manager Torey Lovullo said. The Diamondbacks played with 24 available players Saturday, but B Bracho's return ives them a full complement. The D-backs did not immediately need to make a move behind the plate because they have C Jeff Mathis and C/OF Chris Herrmann on the roster. Iannetta is hitting .220 with three homers and six RBIs. He hit his third homer Friday.

C Chris Iannetta took several stitches in a split upper lip and suffered fractured teeth and a fractured nose, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said, when he was hit in the mouth with a fastball in the seventh inning Friday.

C Chris Iannetta reached base twice in a nine-run eighth inning, walking as a pinch-hitter to load the bases and later singling in two runs after Arizona had batted around. Iannetta has hit safely in six straight games, going 7-for-17 with two homers. He has an RBI in four of his last six games. "It's early," he said. "I'm just trying to put the bat on the ball as much as I can. I've been able to get some pitches to hit and been able to square them up."

C Chris Iannetta had a good game on Sunday at Dodger Stadium and that's no surprise. He hit his first homer of the year to continue his hot run at Chavez Ravine. Iannetta has hit safely in five of his last six games at Dodger Stadium, going 5-for-18 with two doubles, a homer and four RBIs. Although he's known as an offensive catcher, Iannetta drew praise from manager Torey Lovullo for his defensive work on Sunday.

C Chris Iannetta got a rare start Sunday and went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts. Iannetta, who lost his starting job in August and hasn't played much in the past few weeks, ended up being one of only four Mariners to be in the starting lineup for the first and last games of the season -- joining Robinson Cano, Kyle Seager and Franklin Gutierrez. That list doesn't include pitcher Felix Hernandez, the Opening Day starter and the guy who was on the mound for Sunday's meaningless finale. Iannetta hit .210 this season, which is even more alarming when considering he had a .320 batting average after his first nine games.

C Chris Iannetta came out of his offensive funk with a two-run single Thursday in the Mariners' three-run fourth inning. He was also a key to RHP Taijuan Walker's ability to get through five innings after throwing seven consecutive balls to open the game. "Chris Iannetta had one of the better games of the year tonight," manager Scott Servais said of his catcher's ability to call pitches and keep Walker calm.

C Chris Iannetta has seen his playing time dwindle in recent weeks because of his own offensive struggles as well as the emergence of former starter Mike Zunino. Iannetta, who is hitting .212 this season and .136 since June 24, has played in just seven of Seattle's past 16 games. He didn't sit in back-to-back games at all over the first three months of the season but has been held out in consecutive games four times since July 16.
