MIAMI -- The doors to the D-backs' clubhouse stayed closed a little longer than usual after their 11-6 loss to the Marlins on Monday night, marking the end of a frustrating four-game series during which Arizona dropped three of four games.

“The four games here in Miami was clumsy baseball,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said. “And we’re not a clumsy baseball team.”

So, was he the one who called a team meeting?

“How do you know there was a meeting?” Lovullo said. “I’m not going to make a comment on that.”

With the loss, the D-backs finished a seven-game stretch against the last-place Orioles and Marlins with a disappointing 3-4 record, all but assuring they will be sellers prior to Wednesday’s Trade Deadline.

Things unraveled quickly for starter Merrill Kelly and the D-backs in the second inning as six of the first seven batters reached base, capped by a two-run homer from Miguel Rojas, his third in as many games.

It wasn’t just that they yielded the six runs: The D-backs also committed a pair of errors firing the ball around the infield on a safety squeeze, an uncharacteristic sloppy play for a team that prides itself on its fundamentals.

“They ran a play we were prepared for, we talked about, we practiced and it turned into four or five extra runs,” Lovullo said. “So, we need to tighten that up. It couldn’t have been any tougher for us in that inning where we gave up six runs. We just did not play Arizona Diamondbacks baseball.”

Several D-backs have surfaced in rumors, including starter Robbie Ray, reliever Andrew Chafin and outfielder Jarrod Dyson, and Lovullo was asked if he thought the Trade Deadline chatter was a factor in the way his team played in this series.

“It could be,” he said. “What I would say to the guys is [that] this game is hard enough as it is, and if you’re going to add in some outside distractions you can’t really control, then you need to regain that focus and go out there and do the things you can do. And do your job the best way you can. Take care of your business the way you’re supposed to.”

Arizona first baseman Christian Walker said he doesn’t think the pending Deadline has caused the team to lose focus.

“You hear things here and there, but we do a good job of blocking it out,” Walker said. “I feel like that’s not the reason why the game has been going how it goes. I feel like it’s just a matter of bearing down, cleaning it up and us all trusting each other and pulling the same rope.”
