Greinke (0-1) was lit up by the Rockies in his Diamondbacks debut on Monday, as he allowed seven runs on nine hits and a walk over four innings in a loss. He struck out two and allowed three home runs.
Greinke pounded the strike zone, as he threw 55 strikes in his 82 pitches, but the Rockies were all over him. He thrived in Los Angeles, but the thin desert air in Arizona will punish him much harder for his mistakes. Greinke last allowed more than 1.0 HR/9 as a starter way back in 2005 with the Royals, so it's hard to imagine he won't get this figured out pretty quickly. Still, there's no way to spin the disappointment of the $200 million dollar man coming out of his first start with a 15.75 ERA.
