This game began as a pitcher’s dual as Ryne Nelson started in the place of the injured Eduardo Rodriguez, and went toe to toe with the Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Ryne really had his stuff working as he was able to match Yamamoto for 5 innings allowing only 1 Dodgers run.
Offensively, the Dbacks couldn’t get anything going in the early going as Yamamoto had his stuff working tonight. He even had a no hitter going through 6 innings when Ketel Marte finally broke it up as he almost put a hole in the RF wall with a laser beam single.
