I was quite surprised to discover that Zack Greinke had never won at Wrigley Field, but that was indeed the case: over five previous starts, he had gone 0-2, with an ugly 8.31 ERA. Key word in that sentence is “was,” however. You couldn’t have told, based on his performance this afternoon, as he and major-league debutant Taylor Clarke combined on a four-hit shutout of the Cubs. It may have been another windy day in the Windy City, but you could not have told based on the D-backs’ overall performance.
