Silver linings, but mostly dark clouds

A lot of strikeouts for Bradley, but a lot of walks and home runs rule the day.

Archie Bradley started the game off incredibly well. Through the first four innings, he recorded six strikeouts, no hits, and only one walk. His curveball was, to quote Greg Shulte on the radio side, "mesmerizing" and according to Nick P. his fastball was sitting at 94 MPH consistently. At one point, he sat down 12 in a row, and during that stretch was when he recorded all those strikeouts. It was looking like he was on his way to an easy win, especially if the Dbacks’ offense did their job.
