Wednesday’s lineup
The Diamondbacks welcome J.D. Martinez to the team Wednesday after trading for the former Tigers slugger on Tuesday.
Martinez is scheduled to bat fifth and start in right field against the Reds.
Wednesday’s game
When: 4:10 p.m.
Where: Great American Ball Park, Cincinnati.
Pitchers: Diamondbacks RHP Zack Greinke (11-4, 2.86) vs. Reds RHP Tim Adleman (5-7, 4.99).
TV/Radio: FSAZ/KTAR-AM (620), KHOV-FM (105.1).
Greinke will be making his first start since the All-Star break. He also faced the Reds the last time out, when he threw seven scoreless innings, with one walk and seven strikeouts, in a start at Chase Field on July 7. … He’s given up just three runs in 19 innings (1.42 ERA) in his past three starts. … He has made seven starts at Great American Ball Park in his career, posting a 2.30 ERA. … Adleman has thrown five or fewer innings in five consecutive starts, allowing 19 earned runs in 24 1/3 innings in that stretch. … The Diamondbacks scored four runs (three earned) in five innings off him on July 7. … Adleman has allowed the third-most home runs in the National League with 21.
Martinez trade buoys D-Backs
CINCINNATI – In the visitors’ clubhouse minutes before the game, the Diamondbacks got word their front office had acquired perhaps the best slugger available on the trade market, landing J.D. Martinez in a deal with the Detroit Tigers.
They then proceeded to wallop the Cincinnati Reds 11-2, watching their offense break out for the first time in weeks to help snap a five-game losing streak. Third baseman Jake Lamb, tongue firmly planted in his cheek, declared it the beginning of the J.D. Martinez Era.
In recent weeks, the Diamondbacks had not looked like a potent bunch. They had essentially stopped hitting with men in scoring position. They were seemingly unable to do damage against left-handed pitching. They were in a funk and they couldn’t seem to find their way out.
That changed, however, on Tuesday night against the Reds, owners of the worst pitching staff in baseball. The Diamondbacks broke through in record fashion. Never before had a Diamondbacks team collected six extra-base hits in a single inning like they did in the fifth. And never had nine different Diamondbacks hitters contributed extra-base hits.
