![]() Nelson then gave up a one-out double down the left field line, but managed to strand the guy on third. Vastly underperforming SF right fielder Michael Conforto led off the inning by hanging a twelve-pitch at-bat on Nelson, with the twelfth pitch being the one that he sent over the wall just to the right field side of center. In the top of the second, Ryne Nelson sadly did not put up a zero, again. We did nothing in our half, beyond Emmanuel Rivera singling off the first-base bag with one out and then Christian Walker drawing a two-out walk. I guess it was because Brebbia generally starts a game, as he did tonight, serving in an “opener” role, and presumably we were hoping to forestall SF rolling out an army of left-handed pitchers to mow us down after Brebbia’s first inning of work. John Brebbia, a righty, was starting for San Francisco, but for whatever reason we had our righty-heavy lineup in there, like you do. Things started out not exactly badly, but with bad results, for Nelson, as he surrendered a leadoff single to SF first baseman LaMonte Wade, Jr., and then, after recording two outs, allowed DH, former Doyer, and all-around baseball player that Diamondbacks fans should not love Joc Pederson to launch one over the wall in right-center to put us in an early hole. As kilnborn noted late in the comments in the GDT, we are 6-1 on Friday nights, which we now are, but it certainly didn’t feel like a sure thing this evening that we would get there. I figured this would be a relatively rare long and exhausting game to watch and then recap on a Friday night, which to this point hasn’t generally been my experience. The Diamondbacks bullpen has lost a bunch of games for us of late, and Ryne Nelson.well, he hasn’t been exactly stellar so far, and he hasn’t tended to be able to go deep into games as a starter.
