Now the Diamondbacks turn to the rookie right-hander for Game 3 of the NL Championship Series in an effort to slow the homer-happy Philadelphia Phillies, who have built a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven playoff thanks to six homers.
“Yesterday was a really frustrating outcome,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday, a day after Philadelphia's 10-0 rout at Citizens Bank Park.
We knew they were a hot team,” Lovullo said.
“They’re built to slug.”The good news for the D-backs is Pfaadt is coming off one of his best outings this year.
“Grinding out at-bats, having mature at-bats, driving up pitch counts, catching popups, picking up the baseball," Lovullo said.
