The New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks will
battle it out once again tonight in the desert as these two teams face off
head-to-head in the second of their three game set. In the first game last
night we watched as Chad Green made his MLB debut against this team and tonight
we get to see someone a little more experienced in Michael Pineda. Opposing Little
Mike tonight, because let’s face it he’s been far from Big Mike this season,
will be the Diamondbacks shiny new (expensive) toy in Zack Greinke inside Chase
Field.
Pineda will look to get out of the first inning tonight without a huge deficit like they have in many of Pineda’s starts this season. After the second inning Pineda is holding opposing batters to just a .202 average while the other team is hitting a whopping .437 in the first two innings of the contest.
Greinke has surprisingly not been the pitcher the Diamondbacks gave the biggest contract ever to but he has been coming around a bit as of late. In his last start Greinke allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings pitched against the San Francisco Giants. Along the way Greinke struck out four and walked three for Arizona.
The game will be played at 8:40 PM ET inside of Chase Field
and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV. These starts actually work
pretty well for me since I don’t get to watch the first inning or so of the
game anyway. I won’t nearly see the end of it unfortunately but it allows me to
get all my adulting done before chilling with you guys on Twitter. Hopefully I
have good things to say when Pineda regains his “Big Mike” form tonight in the
desert and keeps the Yankees rolling with a victory.
