After their first series win of the season, the D-Backs head out to San Fran for 4 games.
After a very rough first 10 games, the D-Backs finally looked like the team which received so much hype this offseason this weekend against the Padres. The pitching showed up, and while the offense wasn't great, they were good enough to win 2 out of 3 games. A big part of these offensive struggles was hitting with runners in scoring position. The D-Backs were 4-for-21 with RISP at Petco Park, including an 0-for-13 performance in Saturday's 14-inning heart breaker. I'm sure that this issue will work itself out, as hitting with RISP isn't really a skill, and should even itself out over time.
