[D’backs.com] D-backs win sixth straight, Walker struggles - Taijuan “Taco” Walker took the start yesterday against the Kansas City Royals at Salt River Fields. After quickly retiring the first three batters on fly balls to right fielder Steven Souza Jr. requiring only six pitches, he seemingly lost control and could not miss bats in the 2nd inning. He surrendered three runs in that frame, that being the Royals’ only runs, allowing three hits and two walks. Walker retired to the bullpen after that inning to throw an additional fourteen pitches in order to meet his target of sixty.
