The top and bottom halves of the first inning of Tuesday night’s game were nearly identical. In the top half, Geraldo Perdomo led off for the Arizona Diamondbacks and, facing a young pitcher trying to solidify his role in the Majors (Kyle Harrison), smacked a single. In the bottom half, Mike Yastrzemski led off for the San Francisco Giants and, facing a young pitcher trying to solidify his role in the Majors (Ryne Nelson), drew a walk.
Up next for Arizona was Corbin Carroll, a 2019 draftee who has exceeded all expectations en route to winning Rookie of the Year last season.
