Yesterday's Game

Greinke Wins 7th Straight Start, Diamondbacks Beat Phillies

D-backs Go Deep Thrice to Back Greinke in Win
What's with the highfalutin' language in the headlines, MLB.com? Your headline writer go on too many fancy wine tastings?

Paul Goldschmidt's Hot Bat Lifts D-backs Again
Remember when we were all concerned about Goldy? Rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated. After the first game, his season low OPS was .819, on April 15th and again on May 15th. Since May 15th, he's hitting .373 with an OPS of 1.101.

Looking Ahead

Archie Bradley takes the mound against the Phillies at 10:35 Arizona time, facing off with Zac Eflin. Eflin might have been horrible in his debut last time out, but he was putting together a good season at AAA Lehigh Valley before getting the call. He was 5-2 with a 2.90 ERA and a 0.878 WHIP in 11 starts. He'll likely get it figured out soon and do better at the MLB level, but hopefully he can wait until the start after this one.
