Zach Grienke got the start in Saturday night’s game against the Houston Astros, who had right handed pitcher Charlie Morton get the start for them.
The Diamondbacks got on the board early in the first inning by taking advantage of Morton’s control problems. Morton walked Peralta, Descalso, and Goldschmidt to lead off the game, and Pollock hit a sac fly to bring Peralta home, giving the Dbacks an early one run lead. The Dbacks would tack on another with a solo homer in the second, putting the Dbacks up 2-0.
