The Diamondbacks lost twice in one day, capped off by a severely one-sided 13-1 loss to the Reds in the Queen City on Saturday.
Rain threatened to delay the game for the second straight day but subsided around the fourth inning.
Eugenio Suarez was the only bright spot for the D-backs, hitting his 100th home run at Great American Ballpark. He now ranks fourth in terms of home runs hit in that ballpark behind long-time Reds players Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips.
Suarez, who was 2-for-4 on the day with the one home run, brought his career home run total to 293, only seven homers away from 300.

Graveman entered the game in the fourth and immediately got shelled. The righty gave up six earned runs on five hits and two walks and a grand slam to former Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux.
