The Arizona Diamondbacks came into today’s game 3.5 games back of the NL Wild Card standings and news from Ken Rosenthal about the teams willingness to sell. The Diamondbacks needed a good win and a refresh after the 1-5 loss to the Miami Marlins yesterday.
Caleb Smith got the start for the Miami Marlins and immediately had to work through some high pitch counts per at bat. While Tim Locastro and Ketel Marte both struck out, they were able to draw out 7 pitch at bats that tested Smith’s resolve.
