Diamondbacks' scouting contributing to Clay Buchholz's resurgent season

SAN FRANCISCO – On certain nights at home, when the kids are in bed and the house is quiet, Diamondbacks right-hander Clay Buchholz will break out the advance report the club prepared for him and begin cramming for his next start.

Buchholz, who, at 34, is enjoying one of his best stretches in years, will try to continue his roll on Tuesday night against the Giants at AT&T Park, and he will once again rely on the scouting report, something he believes has played a huge part in his resurgent season.

“I pitch a little differently now,” he said after throwing seven scoreless innings against the Los Angeles Angels last week.
