D’backs 2, Rockies 7: Death By A Thousand Singles

Pop quiz. Who prepared more for today’s game, the YouTube broadcast crew, or the D’backs hitters and scouts against Tim Melville? My rhetorically sarcastic question is unfair to the D’backs considering they had less than 24 hours to prepare for Melville’s start. He was called up by the Colorado Rockies for an emergency start after Jon Gray was placed on the injured list with a fractured left foot. Torey Lovullo commented that he did not learn Melville was making the start until 11:00 PM last night leaving almost no time for his staff to develop a plan of attack.
