Ketel Marte and Josh Bell each hit two homers as the D-backs powered their way to white knuckle victory.
Josh Bell had a Diamondbacks debut to remember, homering on the first pitch he saw in the first inning. That put the D-backs up 4-0 before an out was even recorded. But his best was yet to come.
It was the fastest pitch ever to be hit for a homer since since ball tracking began in 2008 . It was also just the second time in franchise history a D-backs switch-hitter homered from both side of the plate in their team debut. The first was Felipe Lopez on opening day, April 6th. 2009. The game began with Corbin Carroll hitting his league leading ninth triple off Luis L. Ortiz. He came all the way around to score on the play due to a throwing error on the relay from Oneil Cruz.
Then with two outs in the fifth, Pfaadt gave up back-to back-doubles to Andrew McCutchen and Bryan Reynolds, followed by an RBI base hit by Cruz once again. Cruz ended up going five-for-five, with a double, two runs, two RBI, and a stolen base.
