After being shutout yesterday, and striking out sixteen times, it was a better performance all round from the D-backs against the same opponent (albeit a split-squad version) at Salt River Fields this afternoon. If Tommy Henry made a statement about his fitness for the fifth starter’s job, Ryne Nelson said, “Hold my beer”. He struck out the side in the first, albeit round a couple of hits, and added two more strikeouts in a clean second to finish with five K’s on the day. Thereafter, we saw more of the A-bullpen, including zeroes by Miguel Castro and Luis Frias, though Justin Martinez and Andrew Saalfrank each allowed a run.
