GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The D-backs sent 10 men to the plate and scored six runs in the top of the first inning on their way to a 9-3 victory over the Reds at Goodyear Ballpark on Sunday afternoon.
Cincinnati starter Brandon Finnegan struggled immediately, with the first five Arizona batters reaching safely. Two batters in, Phil Gosselin hit a two-run home run to left field. Finnegan gave up all six first-inning runs, allowing five hits, two walks and a run-scoring wild pitch. He threw 44 pitches in his one inning and then an additional 36 in the bullpen to reach his desired pitch-count of 80.
