The season has been a little longer than a month, the closure of Arizona Diamondbacks is like flies.
Due to the injuries at the back of Bullpen, Diamondbacks wants to broadcast a comfortable victory on Friday when they open a three -game road series against Philadelphia Phillies.
Arizona started the season with a pair of robust options to turn off tight games, but Aj Puk landed on the wounded list last month with a elbow strain and Justin Martinez joined him on Thursday because of shoulder fatigue.
Shelby Miller has completed Arizona's 4-2 wins against New York Mets on Thursday, and Kevin Ginkel, who works at the eighth stroke, can get closing opportunities.
“We have a deep group of men we trust.” He said. “I know everyone will ask me who will be closer. I don't know what this answer is, but we miss Aj and we'll miss J-Mart.
“But they will heal and they will come back and help us win games. In the meantime, everyone will hold the castle and keep their seats warm for them.”
Diamondback took two out of three people from Mets this week and will continue to accelerate behind the right-hand Merrill Kelly (3-1, 4.41 ERA) at the opener of the weekend series.
On April 3, Kelly allowed nine runs against New York Yankees in 3 2/3 strokes, but the other five initially 2.17 ERA. Arizona's Atlanta Braves left two runs in six innings in 8-7, 10 shots.
For his career, Kelly is against Philadelphia and 2-1 with 2-1 ERA.
Phillies will face Jesus Luzardo (3-0, 1.73 ERA), which has been dynamic since his arrival in an offseason trade with Miami Marlins.
His left hand allowed Chicago Cubs to just two-unazed runs and three strokes on Saturday with a 10-4 road victory against Cubs. He made at least five strokes at six of his beginnings and left more than two runs once.
“One of the most beautiful men you will meet until he enters the hill, and then turns into a different man. Extraordinary.” He said.
Luzardo made four beginnings against Arizona in his career and broke a 2-1 record with 5.09 ERA.
Since Ranger Suarez is scheduled for the first time in the season, Philadelphia has more beginners – a turn that can remove Taijuan Walker from rotation. The Walker allowed four runs (one won) at 5 2/3 strokes on Thursday (Phillies visited the Washington Nationals 4-2.
“We will see what they say,” Walker said about the progress of his role. “Ranger's return is a bonus for us. It's a very good jug. I know we miss him in our rotation.
