Zac Gallen in control as Diamondbacks lead Pirates

The Diamondbacks lead the Pirates, 5-0, after four inning in Friday's series opener — a much-needed performance after four straight losses entering the day.

The offense supported Gallen with a big third inning. Jake McCarthy led off with a walk and stole second. Ketel Marte then singled before Corbin Carroll brought McCarthy home with a bunt single to first base. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. followed that by crushing a hanging curveball out to left field to clear the bases. Gurriel doubled another run home with two outs in the fourth.

Jameson appeared to grimace and shake his pitching arm after a pitch to Tommy Pham in the sixth inning Thursday night. Lovullo, pitching coach Brent Strom and team trainer Max Esposito all came out to the mound after the pitch, but Jameson told them that he was merely experiencing cramping in his wrist — something he has dealt with before. After feeling good on a warmup pitch, Jameson remained in the game for the rest of the inning.

Jameson threw 17 more pitches in the inning, including a 12-pitch strikeout of Daniel Vogelbach. In the dugout afterward, he said he felt good on all of those pitches. But Friday morning, he reported tightness in his forearm, prompting both the trip to the injured list and the imaging that will reveal the extent of the damage.The Diamondbacks made a series of roster moves prior to Friday night's game, most notably placing Jameson on the injured list.
