The wife and I dropped the kid off at her grandparents tonight and attended this game in person. Tonight was Mexican Heritage Night at Chase Field. With 34,000 in attendance there was a serpientes jersey giveaway, a band in the left field bleachers, and a postgame concert made for a lively atmosphere.
Slade Cecconi took on the American League’s best Baltimore Orioles making his fourth start of the season. Entering the game he’d yet to tally a win under his belt but had a respectable 2.57 ERA through a small sample 21 innings. He remained on the same path through three innings tonight, but the fourth inning saw him give up as many runs as he had all season prior.
