It wasn't that long ago that Drey Jameson looked to be cruising towards locking up Arizona's fifth starter spot for himself. Brandon Pfaadt was little more than an afterthought. My, how things can change in seven to ten days. The "presumptive" fifth starter allowed five runs (all earned) on seven hours, two of which left the yard. Sadly, Jameson was far from alone in his struggles this afternoon. Of the five relievers who followed Jameson, only Ryan Hendrix and Kevin Ginkel managed clean outings. Unfortunately, the two of the combined for only one full inning.
On the other hand, after Jameson surrendered two runs in the top of the first, Arizona responded with five of their own in the bottom half of the frame.
