Then Felix Hernandez Jersey , he got upstaged by a teammate making a memorable major league debut.Greinke pitched three-hit ball over six innings, Taylor Clarke got a save and a hit after being called up from the minors, and the Arizona Diamondbacks knocked out three home runs in a 6-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.Clarke became the first pitcher with a save and a hit in his major league debut since saves became an official stat in 1969, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.“Pretty fun, pretty special to be a part of that and experience all of that and have success,” Clarke said.Called up from Triple-A Reno, he allowed one hit over the final three innings and preserved Arizona’s first shutout since a 9-0 romp over Chicago last Sept. 19. He also led off the eighth with a single to the left side of the infield that deflected off the pitcher’s glove in his first at-bat.“He’s got great memories,” manger Torey Lovullo said. “He can hand them off to his boys and his wife and his parents, so it’s a very special moment for him and for us and for all of player development. He pounded the zone with the stuff we remember him using from spring training, the transition here is no different, he showed us that it was the same game.”Greinke (3-1) won for the third time in four starts since a season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner also picked up his first victory in six career starts at Wrigley, giving him at least one win at every National League ballpark. He helped himself at the plate with a double.“Felt good Hisashi Iwakuma Jersey , weather wasn’t ideal, pitching or hitting,” Greinke said. “But it felt all right out there. Three runs were nice early and then the extra later was even better.”Eduardo Escobar and David Peralta hit back-to-back solo homers against a shaky Yu Darvish (1-3) in the first. John Ryan Murphy capped a three-run sixth against Allen Webster with a two-run homer that made it 6-0.Christian Walker had a career-high four hits and scored a run, helping the Diamondbacks win for the fifth time in six games on a windy afternoon.The Cubs had won eight of 11 following a 1-6 start and were trying to go above .500 for the first time since a season-opening victory at Texas.Darvish lasted five innings, allowing three runs and five hits. The shaky outing followed three straight dominant starts against Miami and Arizona by Jose Quintana, Cole Hamels and Kyle Hendricks, who each went seven scoreless innings.“Overall, not horrible,” manager Joe Maddon said. “Not a bad performance. The homers early make it look worse than it was.”PITCHING INClarke used Walker’s bat when he stepped to the plate in the eighth. He also hit barehanded because he left his batting gloves in the clubhouse, not thinking he would need them.Greinke also delivered with his double and two sacrifice bunts. He has four extra-base hits this season — two doubles, two homers — and is 5 for 10 overall.TRAINER’S ROOMDiamondbacks: C Alex Avila and 3B Jake Lamb have started taking live batting practice and continue to throw. Both are on the injured list with a strained left quadriceps. … LHP T.J. McFarland (left shoulder inflammation) is scheduled to throw an inning in a rehab outing for Triple-A Reno on Sunday.Cubs: Ace Jon Lester (strained his left hamstring) could be close to rejoining rotation after throwing 45 pitches in a simulated game on Saturday. Maddon said he looked “very good” and the Cubs will see how he feels Sunday before determining the next step. Maddon did not rule out a return for a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field that starts Tuesday. … Closer Brandon Morrow (offseason elbow surgery) experienced discomfort following a side session in Arizona earlier in the week and is shutting down his rehabilitation for now.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: LHP Robbie Ray (0-1, 4.64) tries for his first win in his fifth start. He went six innings against Atlanta on Tuesday in his longest outing of the year Ken Griffey Jersey , but gave up a season-high five runs.Cubs: RHP Tyler Chatwood (0-0, 6.00) makes his first start of the season. The Cubs opted to go with Chatwood and push back LHP Jose Quintana back to Tuesday, in part because Arizona has struggled against right-handers.

Michael Chavis was a combined 0-7 in the two games with four strikeouts overall and he made an error at the hot corner to boot. Gorkys Hern谩ndez did come through with a home run in the second game. On the pitching side, Travis Lakins is one of the most intriguing young arms in the upper minors and Jenrry Mejia emerged as a legitimately exciting arm in spring. Both struggled in relief on Saturday.Portland L 1-8Yeesh. Rough day at the plate for the two legitimate prospects up in Portland, though that’ll happen and they did at least draw three walks between them. The pitching was the highlight, or lowlight if you prefer. Houck was hit all over the field on Saturday in his Double-A debut, failing to pick up where he left off to finish out 2018. One start is obviously no reason to get overly upset, but his confidence was likely shaken a bit. Schellenger, meanwhile, was a potential sleeper to make a major-league impact this year but his first two appearances out of Portland’s bullpen have been brutal.Salem G1 W 2-1Salem G2 L 1-2It was a day highlighted by pitching for this doubleheader down in Wilmington for both sides in a pair of 2-1 games. Bryan Mata got off to a good start as he repeats High-A, and most encouraging by far about his game was that he didn’t issue any walks. The righty issued over seven free passes per nine innings in 2018 http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , so this is a huge step even in a single-game sample. He’s going to be one of the top players to watch in the entire system this year and could see a bounce back in his ranking status as soon as midyear.Greenville L 5-6It’s been a tough start to the year for both of the guys listed here, both of whom are at different points of their career. Combined they are 1-23 (Casas has the one hit) with three walks. Brannen was someone I was starting to come around on in terms of potential for a bounce-back year, but I will likely lost patience rather quickly given how poorly he’s done ever since joining the organization. Casas, meanwhile, will obviously have a ton of leash as last year’s first round pick. Contact has been his big issue thus far with six strikeouts in half of his plate appearances. Of course, it’s only a 12-PA sample size.Player of the Day: This was a pretty rough day on the farm for the Red Sox, with a few players having solid first or second ends of doubleheaders but not both. So, I’ll give this one to Bryan Mata getting off on the right foot as he tries to make quick work of High-A this time around and make his way up to Portland.
