DETROIT — Taijuan Walker felt fresh after nearly a month off, although it took a little while for him to settle into a groove.
“I don’t know why I was so nervous,” the Arizona right-hander said. “First game back, maybe, but after the first inning, I felt a lot better, more comfortable.”
Walker pitched five sharp innings in his return from the disabled list, and the Diamondbacks won their fourth straight game, 2-1 over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.
Arizona scored two runs in the first inning, and that turned out to be all the Diamondbacks needed.
