The first game after the Diamondbacks officially became ‘sellers’ was not short on drama. The offense, missing one of its key cogs after Naylor was traded on Thursday, looked just a bit off all night long, but the pitching staff more than rose to the occasion. Ryne Nelson led the charge into what generations of future Diamondbacks fans will look back and call the Great Selloff with 6 innings of scoreless, 1-hit ball. He twice had to strand runners at third and walked or hit 3 batters, but he made the pitches he needed to when it mattered and put up zero after zero after zero.
Diamondbacks 1, Pirates 0: Yo Ho, Yo Ho!
