Diamondback ‘Offnss, Ryne Nelson Down Athletics in Mesa

Arizona Diamondbacks defeated athletics on Wednesday 5-2 in Mesa for a solid start from young Ryne Nelson.

Nelson threw 3.2 strong Innings in his second start of the Cactus League. Although he recorded only one strike and gave up a handful of loud out Outów, he was very efficient and tried to present better command than his previous trips.

He allowed his first spring training – Solo Homer for an athletic infielter, CJ Alexander, who is the brother of Infielder Diamondback Blaze Alexander. Solo Homer was the only run allowed by Nelson and did not spend a walk that day.

Nelson was generally satisfied with his day and thought about the Diamondback trip to Postgame Jack Sommers.

“I think it develops, reaches, reaches the place where I want. The Fastball command was much better today than it was, and I feel that one of the things I focused on me is that I didn’t overtake guys, and I think I did a good job, “said Nelson.

Nelson praised the defense of his central field when Alek Thomas fled the heavily hit ball, making the hat easy.

“I was joking with Alek (O), as usual, this is not a good sign when you see how the midfielder turns and runs straight to the wall, but he is definitely a guy you trust when he puts his head. He has really good skills in collecting the ball, and sometimes they turn around, and this means that he passes through the fence, but not always from Alek. “

Nelson said he felt a “three -quarter” road to full strength, but he felt that his current level would be sufficient to compete if necessary.

“I think that if the opening day was tomorrow, I could go and compete there, but I definitely think there are levels in it,” said Nelson.

The D-Backs crime did not have an explosive day, but a pair of double Jorge Barrosa and Ketel Marte noticed Arizona leading 1-0 in the third round. After Alexander Homer Pavin Smith took one for the moon’s arrows to the right center and lead 2-1 Diamondbacks.

Left -handed Kyle Nelson allowed to double fifth place, and then sailed the second base to allow the runner to be promoted. Later, the single performed a result of 2-2 in an unregistered gear that was not burdened with Nelson.

Yilber Díaz threw with a relief of 2.1 Innings and allowed only one striking base, hitting two. He spent two walks. Ryan Thompson gathered one without the base allowed, and the left -handed Jake Rice scored 0.2 innsing without a goal.

Arizona performed forward in the eighth round, after the single Jacek Hurley, the break -out of Ryan Waldschmidt and the second single from the bat Juan Cornal. With Waldschmidt on the third, the Athletics catcher, Willie Maciver, sailed with his own collection, allowing Waldschmidt an easy reach of 4-2.

After the single Leadoff and the selection of Fielder, D-Backs slipped in the ninth place, when the René Pinto catcher folded a ground ball from the second basic bag to get Jose Fernandez and lead the result to 5-2.

Juan Morillo and his 99 km / h fastball closed the door to just seven pitches, causing a double game of ground ball to finish and remove the single led.

Talking to Postgame reporters, Torey Lovullo manager spoke about Ryne Nelson and a dilemma before Lovullo and coaching staff. Nelson is in the middle of the battle for the fifth place of the starter, and the seven qualified MLB thrills are currently healthy in the camp.

“This is a very difficult discussion we were led. I had the very similar conversation, which I had with him during the spring training, as with him for the last three years, “said Lovullo.

“It can block the black noise as good as everyone and go out and attack. And this is maturity and confidence. He did a lot of confidence. He looked like he could go forever.

“But secondary things stand out for me. This is the depth and angle of his breaking the ball, which he really works and stand out today, “said Lovullo.

The manager praised Mental Nelson and his ability to simply accept any situation that comes and compete in the best possible way.

“Nothing will benefit from him. From the day I met him, he just takes it and always says the right things. You know: “I just want a baseball. When you are ready to give it to me, I will be ready as possible. ” It’s just a level of confidence with which it is.

Diamondbacks will return on Thursday against Seattle Mariners in Peoria at 18:40 Arizona Time.
