On a night where the Diamondbacks debuted their very bold purple and teal City Connect jerseys, I suppose we should have expected a wild game. This game more than delivered on the wild aspect, as this was three games within one.
The first game was headlined by the stinkiness of Eduardo Rodriguez. E-Rod couldn’t get out of the third inning, allowing 8 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks. For the most part, Rodriguez has had a decent season, definitely a season better than his 5.92 ERA would suggest. He had excelled in limiting hard contact, coming in to the game with the lowest Exit Velocity against of any lefty in the National League.
