Let’s face it, I was going to use that headline regardless of the score this afternoon. It was pretty much inked in for this recap, as soon as I heard who was starting this game for the Diamondbacks. But Taijuan Walker, making his Arizona debut, lived up to his end of the bargain, tossing two scoreless innings with three K’s. He struck out the side in the first inning, around a two-out single, and followed that up in the second with two groundouts and a flyout, again around a two-out single.
