RecapTaijuan Walker notched his first win of the year after holding the Diamondbacks to two runs in five innings on Saturday.
This seemed a very unlikely outcome for Walker after Ketel Marte homered to start the game and Corbin Carroll came around to score after a walk. Walker, though, allowed only two hits and one walk over the remaining four innings and finished with six strikeouts. He’s now 1-2 with a 7.36 ERA. It’s unclear if he’ll get any additional starts in the near future, as the Phillies won’t need him before Thursday’s off day and then could get Zack Wheeler back afterwards.
