Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke pitched seven scoreless innings in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Greinke struck out seven batters and walked none. He gave up only five hits and faced 27 batters. His day ended with a pitch count of 102. Grienke (1-0) picked up his first win of the season and has a 0.69 ERA.
"I tried to make good pitches and make the other team adjust," Greinke said, via the Associated Press. ''That was the plan, to kind of mix it up."
Manager Don Mattingly was happy Greinke was able to go so deep into the game, reports MLB.com.
"I thought that was what we really needed today, for him to go deep," Mattingly said. "Clayton wasn't quite Clayton last night. To have a second starter come out and give us that game, the more of that the better. That's what's going to be the difference for us."
