The Arizona Diamondbacks desperately needed a spark, and Jordan Lawlar delivered one in his return to the lineup on Friday night in Cincinnati. Lawlar went 2-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases and several clutch hits, helping power the D-backs to a 5-2 victory over the Reds. We break down Lawlar’s immediate impact, Eduardo Rodriguez‘s shortest start of the season, and how Arizona‘s young players stepped up when the team needed them most.
Plus, the bullpen was outstanding, covering 6.1 scoreless innings to lock down the win. We also discuss a concerning update on AJ Puk‘s rehab assignment and why it feels like the injury bug simply refuses to leave the D-backs alone.
