Comfortable Payton Tolle Day, people. Final trip, Tolle had the pleasure of dealing with the hapless Pirates, who’re notoriously unhealthy towards left-handed pitching. Tonight, he will get an opponent on the opposite finish of the spectrum within the Arizona Diamondbacks, who excel towards southpaws. Fortuitously, it isn’t Paul Skenes on the mound reverse him; it’s previous good friend Eduardo Rodriguez. Eddy is in the course of a tough season with a 5.40 ERA in 24 begins. He’ll give the Dbacks 5 innings and hand it off to the bullpen, most probably. Fortuitously, the Arizona bullpen isn’t very robust. On the season, they rank twenty sixth in bullpen ERA.
