Kansas City Royals
Zack Greinke chose to sign with Arizona as a free-agent seven years ago. He threw seven-hundred of his more-than-thirty-one-hundred career innings with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Arizona shipped him to Houston and paid him $10 million in each of the two seasons he pitched for the Astros.
Now he’s back in Kansas City, where he won his Cy Young Award in 2009.
Greinke’s striking out fewer than four every nine innings but he’s gone at least five and allowed either one or two in six of eight starts.
He gave up three in six to the White Sox in another and couldn’t make it through the fifth in his worst outing of the year at Coors Field.
He doesn’t have a win to show for it. One more will give him two-hundred-twenty for his career.
Despite losing seventeen games with the Royals as a twenty-one-year-old in 2005 and rarely receiving generous run support, Greinke has eighty-five more wins than losses over his enviable career.
Arizona Diamondbacks
His opponent on Tuesday finds success in many the same small ways Greinke does.
Zach Davies had solid seasons with the Brewers in 2017 and 2019 while striking out fewer than six per nine innings.
He did not throw well for the Cubs last season, despite striking out nearly seven per nine, which is where he is again with the Diamondbacks this season.
Davies has gone at least four in all eight of his starts but has pitched into the sixth just twice.
Unlike Greinke, who has surrendered a run in each of his starts, Davies has thrown a couple of donuts.
Both came earlier this month. He gave up a season-high five in his last time out but that was against the Dodgers.
