Snake Bytes 7/18: Worst Day of the Season

The game went ten innings. The two teams combined to hit 10 home runs. There were also 25 strikeouts. Welcome to baseball in 2018.

Despite starting the game as the NL’s DH and batting third, Paul Goldschmidt only came to the plate twice in the affair. In his first at-bat, he was struck out by Chris Sale. In his second, he drew a walk off of Blake Snell. Although the National League did wind up using nine pitchers in the extra-innings game, neither Patrick Corbin or Zack Greinke took the mound for the team.
