As of late Friday, a decision loomed. At that time, it was still undetermined whether right-hander Randall Delgado of the Arizona Diamondbacks retained a spot start or continued auditioning to replace Shelby Miller in the starting rotation.
That question is no longer open-ended for manager Torey Lovullo told Venom Strikes after the Diamondbacks dropped an 8-6 decision to the Milwaukee Brewers before 25,009 Friday night in Chase Field that decision has been made. At least, for the immediate future.
Directly, Lovullo pointed out that Delgado will remain in the rotation. Despite Delgado allowing four runs in five innings of work Friday night, Lovullo told Venom Strikes that one poor outing will not impact the decision.
