Snake Bytes 5/13: The Fish Outswim The Snakes
From the article: Eduardo Escobar’s struggles continued tonight, and I’m starting to feel that maybe he should cede some playing time to Andrew Young until he can figure himself out. Eduardo would go 0-for-4 tonight, and is now just 4-for-35 for the month of May with 11 strikeouts and only 2 walks. Meanwhile Andrew Young pinch hit for Matt Peacock in the 5th inning and hit his 4th home run of the season, a 106.1 MPH solo shot to left field which made the score 3-to-2.
From the article: In addition to Gallen, the Diamondbacks also placed first baseman Christian Walker on the injured list (oblique) and promoted right-hander Seth Frankoff and infielder Andrew Young. Fellow infielder Wyatt Mathieson was designated for assignment to clear room. Gallen and Walker join Ketel Marte, Kole Calhoun, Taylor Widener, and Tyler Clippard as notable members of the Diamondbacks who are on the shelf.
