MIAMI – Zack Greinke grinned as he stepped to the plate in the sixth inning Thursday afternoon, and then swung at the first pitch for another hit.
The Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander pitched seven innings and was an offensive dynamo , too, helping to beat the Miami Marlins 4-0.
Greinke singled twice, drove in a run, stole a base and scored. No wonder he looked to be enjoying himself.
“It’s more fun when you’re doing good,” Greinke said. “Today was a lot of good results, so it was a fun day.”
His offensive feats were impressive, but maybe not that surprising.
