José Fernández’s TWO-HR Debut Fuels Diamondbacks’ Stunning Comeback Win Over Tigers

What a debut! Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Jose Fernandez announced his arrival in a massive way, launching two home runs in his first big league game to power the D-backs to a 7-5 win over the Detroit Tigers. We break down Fernandez’s historic night as he becomes just the seventh player in the modern era of baseball to go yard twice in his MLB debut, and yes… we might be overreacting just a little as we start planning where his statue should go outside Chase Field.

Plus, we dive into Brandon Pfaadt’s rough third inning, what went wrong, and what it could mean for his role once Merrill Kelly returns from the injured list. We also give our thoughts on the latest batch of MLB City Connect jerseys and why the D-backs’ Serpientes jersey is still the king of alternate kits.
