Diamondbacks Gameday Thread, #47: 5/21 @ Pirates

I can't say I'm surprised that we enter the third and final game, having split the first two with the Pirates. But I expected we'd have won Friday night's opener, with Zac Gallen on the mound, then lost to Pirates' ace Mitch Keller on Saturday. You can't predict baseball though. Gallen had a stinker, Brandon Pfaadt dueled Keller almost to a tie, and the fearsome Bucs bullpen succumbed to the irresistible force of /checks notes Pavin Smith. So here we are, with everything to play for in Sunday's finale. Winning a series on the road against a team with a winning record would be a solid performance, and go a long way towards securing a winning road-trip overall.

But it's far too early for this kind of thing, so I'm simply going to post the bullpen chart and go back to bed! Stay tuned for a guest recap from the real Ramona after the game. I'm hopeful we WILL have a recap today, at least. Keegan is much better now. Must be a Pavin Smith fan.
