PHOENIX -- Four pitches doomed Wade Miley and the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. All four left the ballpark -- the most home runs Miley has allowed in his career -- and the Diamondbacks lost to the Cincinnati Reds 4-3. "I need to make better pitches," he said. "Two inches more down and maybe it is not a homer to left. Who knows?" Cincinnati led 3-0 after homers by Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier in the third and by Ryan Ludwick in the fourth. Arizona tied it with a three-run fourth, then in the fifth Chris Heiseys second home run of the season put the Reds on top for good. "Were really not a home-run hitting team," Frazier said, "but when we do, we win." Converted reliever Alfredo Simon (7-3) gave up three runs in 6 1-3 innings. Aroldis Chapman hit 103 mph on the Chase Field radar gun in a perfect ninth, overpowering three batters not long ago in the minor leagues and earning his seventh save in eight opportunities. Miley struck out nine with no walks in six innings of another tough loss. He fanned a career-high 12 in his previous start, getting no decision in a 4-3 loss to San Diego. "I feel like I am throwing the ball well right now, but things arent going my way," he said. "Just got to keep grinding through it." David Peralta singled twice in his major league debut for the Diamondbacks. The Reds won their last three and four of five to finish their trip out West at 4-3. Arizona wrapped up a 3-4 homestand. "I thought we swung the bats pretty well today," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We hit a lot of balls and they made some plays on us. It just wasnt meant to be and that is frustrating. "At the end they just shut us down. Chapman come in throwing 102, 103, it is pretty tough duty." Cozart hit the first pitch of the third inning into the left- field seats, his second home run of the season, to make it 1-0. After two outs, Frazier hit Mileys 1-0 pitch into the same area, his team-high 10th homer -- and the Reds led 2-0. Cincinnati made it 3-0 in the fourth when, with two outs, Ludwick homered -- also to left. Arizona broke a streak of 15 scoreless innings in the fourth. Paul Goldschmidt drew a one-out walk and when Miguel Montero lined Simons 3-0 pitch off the wall in right-centre for a double. Montero moved to third on Martin Prados single then scored on Eric Chavezs sacrifice fly to cut the lead to 3-2. Peralta, just up from Double-A Mobile to replace the injured A.J. Pollock, singled to centre, putting runners at first and third, and Ender Inciarte singled in the tying run. Peralta led off the seventh with a single and Inciarte flied out to deep right. That was it for Simon. Gerardo Parras two-out single off Sam LeCure put runners first and third but Cliff Pennington lined out to right to end the threat. Prado singled with two outs off Jonathan Broxton in the eighth and took second on a passed ball. But Chavez popped out to end the inning. Broxton has allowed one run in 18 appearances this season. Cincinnati loaded the bases with one out in the ninth on an error, single and hit batter against Oliver Perez. Addison Reed came on to get Heisey to pop out and Frazier flied out.

Cheap Soccer Jerseys . -- Darrelle Revis says at least 26 teams called after he was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. SAN FRANCISCO -- An attorney for Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez said a sharp grounder that struck the right-hander in the thigh before his final start caused him to change his throwing motion and may have contributed to him needing season-ending elbow surgery. Tampa-based attorney Ralph Fernandez explained the timeline for the pitchers injury in a lengthy statement to Miami media on Friday. He said the reigning NL Rookie of the Year had to alter his delivery after getting hit on the back of the left leg by a sharp grounder off the bat of Dee Gordon in the Marlins 5-4 win over Los Angeles on May 4 in Miami. Fernandez pitched five innings at San Diego on May 9 in his last start before the Marlins announced he would need Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery, which he had Friday in Los Angeles. "Jose did not have a pre-existing condition," Ralph Fernandez wrote in a statement. "While pitching during the recent Dodgers game in Miami he was struck by a ball on his rear thigh. This prompted a completely unanticipated change in delivery which neither the staff nor his coaches could discern. "After the game we spoke as we always do. Jose was concerned about his arm. Despite many exchanges on the subject in the days that followed he felt that with the Marlins regaining first place in the division he could not let his team down. Apparently the injury was worse than he believed. In San Diego in the third ending he suffered a traumatic event, tossed a couple of more innings and the rest is history." Marlins manager Mike Redmond saaid before the Marlins played the San Francisco Giants on Friday night that nobody on the team knew of Fernandezs injury until his start in San Diego.dddddddddddd "I just think if it was bothering him, then he should have said something and we wouldve obviously shut him down and taken those precautions," Redmond said. "As soon as we found out that he had a sore arm, we shut him down and got an MRI and got everything looked at and got the information that we needed." Redmond also refuted that Fernandez changed his delivery after getting hit in the thigh against the Dodgers. "He looked the same to me in that game after that," Redmond said. Marlins president Michael Hill said in a statement that Fernandezs surgery went well. He said Fernandez would return to Miami and immediately begin his rehabilitation program. Attorney Ralph Fernandez said in his statement that he, the Marlins, the pitcher and his agent, Scott Boras, all agree that surgery was the proper course of action. Typical recovery time is 12 to 18 months. The 21-year-old Fernandez was put on the disabled list earlier this week, becoming the latest in a string of major league pitchers this year who have needed Tommy John surgery. Fernandez finished 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA in eight starts this season. Fernandez made 28 starts last year, going 12-6 with a major league-best .182 opponents batting average. His 2.19 ERA was second in the majors behind three-time defending ERA champ Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers. Fernandez struck out 187 in 172 2-3 innings. ' ' '
