The Arizona Diamondbacks have informed me today that Jim is no longer allowed to recap Taylor Clarke starts (a loud roar erupts from Snake Pit Towers in the West Valley). He wasn’t excellent today, but far better than what we’ve come to expect. Clarke actually managed to complete six innings today, a mark he hasn’t accomplished since back to back starts in the beginning of May. The only two runs he allowed today were solo home runs to Anthony Santander and Trey Mancini.
It was sufficient run prevention for the D’backs offense today who countered with two home runs of their own.
