Pitching Shines as D-Backs Edge Athletics 3-1

The Arizona Diamondbacks' pitching staff delivered a high-quality performance, leading them to a 3-1 victory against the Athletics at Hohokam Stadium. Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt made his first spring training start, throwing 2.1 scoreless innings with one hit and one walk allowed. He also recorded two strikeouts, including one on his slider. Pfaadt expressed satisfaction with his outing, noting it was longer than initially planned but without issue. The bullpen also contributed effectively, with Gerardo Carrillo cleaning up a jam and Brandyn Garcia rebounding from a previous outing with a sharp performance. Paul Sewald gave up the D-backs' only run. Offensively, Jacob Amaya was the key player, hitting a two-run homer in the fourth inning and adding a sacrifice fly in the sixth. The team collected 10 hits but struggled with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-12. Isaiah Campbell closed out the game with a 1-2-3 ninth inning to secure the save.
