The first and second were uneventful for both teams. Gurriel grounded into another double play and Gallen looked absolutely dominate at times. Unfortunately, so was Cobb. In the third Carroll took an extra base hit from The Glass Cannon himself, AJ Pollock; the 2019 first round Arizona pick stole the thunder of the 2009 first round Arizona pick.
The score remained 0-0 until the fifth when Gurriel felt the heat of the team trading for Pham, essentially replacing him. So he decided to homer (1-0 AZ) over Pollock’s head. In the sixth, Thomas followed suit with a homer of his own (2-0 AZ).
