Diamondbacks 2, Yankees 5: Ryne Nelson, starting pitcher. April Fool!

Over-reacting wildly first time through the rotation, it does seem like there will not be any issue figuring out who'll leave the rotation when Jordan Montgomery and Eduardo Rodriguez come back. In fact, based on Cristian Mena’s debut for Reno, he might be ahead of both Tommy Henry and Ryne Nelson. The latter was tonight's starter at Chase Field, and didn't do much to suggest a long-term lease on a Phoenix apartment would be wise. He couldn't even make it through three innings, as the Diamondbacks were made to look distinctly second-rate by the unbeaten Yankees. Though there were also some self-inflicted wounds, of the "stabbing yourself in the eye with a spork" variety.
