The pre-season is formally in the books.
Final record: 16-14-2.
Ryne Nelson enabled one run over 5.2 innings of work, and the offense did simply enough to win the last pre-season video game for the Arizona Diamondbacks. It’s the most wins they’ve had in spring considering that going 24-8 in 2016. Which kinda shows how worthless a good spring record is, doesn’t in? Anyway, Nelson looked good in his last getaway, holding the Guardians to 4 hits and no strolls and 5 strikeouts. Five reducers, consisting of previous rotation competitor Drey Jameson, enabled just one hit afterwards, with Justin Martinez and Christian Montes De Oca each setting out a set in their inning of work. All informed, Arizona dealt with 32 batters and strolled none, setting out 9.
The Diamondbacks got on the board in the 2nd when Geraldo Perdomo drew a bases packed walk, however probably must have done more to make the most of Cal Quantril’s battle with control. He strolled 4 batters in 4.2 innings and hit Gabriel Moreno and Alek Thomas back-to-back in the 2nd: thankfully, both seem great. But the D-backs just had 2 at-bats with runners in scoring position, and went hitless there. The other 2 runs began sacrifice flies in the seventh, by Perdomo and Cristofer Torin. Corbin Carroll drew a set of strolls for Arizona.
A quick 2 hours and twelve minute contest, with everybody obviously having elsewhere to be. For the Diamondbacks, that would be Los Angeles, where they start the 2023 routine season on Thursday, with a very first pitch at 7:10 pm Arizona time. But remain tuned in between from time to time for official lineup statements, win forecasts and a pre-season self-confidence survey to come!
