It’s been a long time since the Arizona Diamondbacks won back-to-back games, and even longer for Zack Grienke to earn a victory.
After Tuesday’s night’s victory, that was only the second time since June 24 the Arizona Diamondbacks triumphed in consecutive games. After beating the Milwaukee Brewers at home on Sunday, Greinke picked up a 5-3 over the New York Mets at Citi Field on Tuesday night. This was Greinke’s first game in major leagues since left in the third inning of a contest against the Philadelphia Phillies on June 28. Sidelined with a left oblique strain, Greinke turned a creditable effort, and gained his first win since the 32-year-old defeated the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park on June 18.
