The Diamondbacks took home a tight victory in last night's series opener at Petco Park, taking down the Padres by a score of 4-3. Tonight, they'll have a chance to begin a new win streak in game two of the series. The first pitch is at 6:40 PM Arizona time.
He holds an impressive 71/14 K/BB over 12 starts in 73 innings. Most beneficially to this taxed rotation and bullpen, he's gone deep into games very consistently, leading the D-backs in innings pitched, and has pitched through the sixth inning or deeper in nine of those 12 starts. King features a lower-90s fastball and sinker, but his changeup is his most valuable pitch. He ranks in the 98th percentile in off-speed run value and has a slider and sweeper to complement his standard arsenal.
Corbin Carroll will man center and hit leadoff again, after going an impressive 3-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in last night's game. He recorded two singles and a double, all struck well, and this raised his batting average back to .201.
