Cactus League play got under way this afternoon for the D-backs, as they played their first game since losing in the World Series against the Texas Rangers. There was a solid crowd of over 10,000 at Salt River Fields for the opener, against Colorado. But the D-backs offense wasn’t able to muster very much, being held to five hits, and going 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position. As usual, most of the starters were gone early, but Ketel Marte reached base twice on a single and a walk, and Joc Pederson in his debut as a Diamondback drew a pair of walks.
