The front half was well-pitched by the D-backs, beginning with Logan Allen (no, the other one) throwing two hitless innings on one walk with three Ks. He was followed by scoreless frames from Paul Sewald, Scott McGough and Kyle Backhus. The last continues to impress this spring: he has retired all nine faced, six by the strikeout. If he keeps pitching this way, a spot in the bullpen is possible. After holding the Angels scoreless through five, it went a bit pear-shaped. Kyle Nelson put them on the board with his bugbear, the home-run, in the sixth.
