It was an inauspicious start to the night for Ryne Nelson, and I thought it was going to be another one of those Friday nights like Dano touched on in his post last weekend. Nelson’s first pitch of the night was rifled to the visitor’s bullpen for a leadoff double, then a few pitches later a sacrifice fly and a throwing error by Alek Thomas had the Padres up 1-0 after 2 batters. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for Nelson after that, but that 2 hitter stretch did end up being the low-point of the night for the D-Backs starter.
Diamondbacks 5, Padres 1: A Friday Night Win!
