Jordan Hicks gave up a run in the 1st. Then 2 in the 2nd. The Giants responded with 2 runs, closing the gap to 1 run, at 3-2. Hicks starts the 3rd by giving up a double. Then a single.
With runners at the corners, and nobody out, Bob Melvin brought in Hayden Birdsong, who was rushed into the game. He might not have had time for his usual warm-ups.
After the Eugenio Suarez home run allowed by Birdsong, the first batter he faced, Hicks' line for today is:
2 IP, 7 hits, 5 runs, all earned, 1 walk, 1 strikeout, 1 HR given up.
Diamondbacks 6 Giants 2, heading to the bottom of the 3rd. Rough start for Hicks.
