PHOENIX -- Trevor Williams might look back with regret on two moments from Saturday night's game at Chase Field. There was the only curveball he threw, which Nick Ahmed hit into the D-backs' bullpen beyond left field. And there was the official scorer's decision on his run-scoring ground ball to second base in the fourth inning; it was ruled an error and not, much to Williams' chagrin, his first Major League hit.
"I might try to dispute it," Williams deadpanned.
There is no disputing what Williams did the rest of the night. Making his second start in the rotation spot previously occupied by Jameson Taillon, Williams escaped a first-inning jam and retired the final 12 batters he faced as the Pirates beat the D-backs, 4-3.
