Godley isn’t perfect, but more importantly, his pitch count is on track for the regular season. Sherfy gets in an inning of one-run ball to get him on the Cactus League stat sheets for 2018. If you care about staying on top of Mount .500 for Spring Training, the D-backs are still 2 games up.

Paul Goldschmidt Hoping Elbow Issues Are Behind Him
