Tonight was one of those games where nearly nothing went wrong for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Clay Buchholz took the start, and continues to make a strong argument to win Comeback Player of the Year. He had the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (in Southern California, Orange County, close to Disneyland, next to a crappy Shell gas station) looking absolutely silly over 7 scoreless innings. He threw first pitch strikes to 19 out of the 23 batters he faced, allowed only 4 hits, and no walks.
