When Zack Greinke walked off the mound with a trainer in the eighth inning last Wednesday in Phoenix, there was an audible gasp from Arizona Diamondbacks fans.
Greinke felt a little tug in his side. And there was really no need to press on in a game Arizona would go on to win 11-1. Through 7 2/3 innings, the Diamondbacks' ace had held the Pittsburgh Pirates scoreless on four hits and no walks with five strikeouts.
So, he called it a night. Call it a precaution.
And Dyson with our first hit to start the 3rd, with the Catcher behind him.
What will it take to show Torey that he can hit lefties?
We need a good sacrifice to bring up Greinke (one of our best hitters{ with a runner
in scoring position.

a runner in scoring position. Nope, Murphy pops up. A wasted out.
Greinke with a sacrifice. But there are now two outs. Jones flies out.
Lift .. lift .. lift. It is killing the D-backs. I cannot understand how it
continues. Do the D-backs want to win, or what?
Probably tempted by the wind. But Steve said the wind is blowing across (not out).Please tell me they aren't employing that darn uppercut swing again.
He had just struck out Reyes, their hottest slugger.There was a base open when Machado was up in the 6th. Why in the world did Greinke pitch to him???
