The Diamondbacks started the “home and home” series against the Houston Astros with a 2-0 victory behind a dominant game from Zack Greinke.
Greinke exited the game after 6.2 scoreless innings. While Greinke has struggled to make it through seven complete innings, he struck out nine batters and only allowed five hits.
Greinke also earned the win, his first since July 29.
The Diamondbacks offense also struck first, which is something they’ve done in four of their last five wins.
In Monday’s win, the offense got started in the second inning.
