How gentle was it? While the starting line-up was perhaps a David Peralta short of Opening Day, by the beginning of the third inning, there were only two survivors on the D-backs side. After Anthony Banda stranded a GCU runner on third, the substitutions began with one out in the bottom of the first inning: Brandon Drury walked and was promptly pulled for a pinch-runner. Arizona scored three times in that inning, on RBI doubles by Jake Lamb and Oswaldo Arcia, sandwiching a sacrifice fly off the bat of Yasmany Thomas (sic).
