Both teams came into this series looking to make a statement in the NL West. Neither felt like they were playing to their potential. Personally, I think that’s more true for Arizona than San Francisco, but even Bay Area teams win sometimes. Arizona brought two new players to game two: Jordan Montgomery and Pavin Smith, both technically recalled from Reno. Ryne Nelson unfortunately took a trip to the Injured List, while Jace Peterson reaped the reward of his early season play... He was designated for assignment - it’s unlikely anyone takes him willingly when they can wait and let Arizona pay most of his paycheck.
