Tony’s Scribner got the call up from AAA Reno today to start for the Diamondbacks. Considering that the last player to pitch in this rotation spot was Kris Medlen, the standards weren’t set too high for him and, for the most part, Scribner was able to live up to them.
He got into a bit of trouble quickly, though. After two quick outs to start the game, he gave up back to back walks. One mound visit later, Howie Kendrick flew out, ending the threat.
In the bottom of the same inning, Arizona put together a threat of their own.
