The Arizona Diamondbacks' Brandon Pfaadt will take on the Washington Nationals. He logged a quality start in his first outing of the season.

The Diamondbacks announced that Ketel Marte sustained a left hamstring strain in this evening’s win over the Nationals. The star second baseman pulled up lame as he ran out a first-inning double. He left the game immediately and was replaced by pinch-runner Garrett Hampson.
