Things got a little strange in Denver on Tuesday when the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks 19–2.
For starters, Colorado had a 18–0 lead by the fourth inning. At that point, Arizona resorted to using position players to pitch, turning the mound over to infielder Daniel Descalso as the team's fifth hurler of the evening, marking the earliest any true position player has pitched in a game since the Brewers' Sal Bando on August 29, 1979, according to Stats by STATS.
Descalso lasted the longest of any Diamondbacks pitcher, giving up four hits and four earned runs with a strikeout and a walk over 2.
