My trepidation was high coming into this game. I had little faith in the starting pitching matchup as Brandon Pfaadt has been astonishingly bad (6.21 ERA and 1.17 WHIP) over the past month or so while Dylan Cease has been merely mediocre (4.70 and 1.43 respectively). If you combine those two results with the inconsistency of the Arizona offense and playing on the road, it’s easy to see how this game could go sideways on the D-Backs in a hurry. Thankfully, the Snakes came to play tonight as the team looked much sharper in nearly every aspect of the game.
