Trivia Tuesday: D-backs pitchers who have hit home runs
Apr 2, 2019, 6:52 AM | Updated: 8:19 am
Saturday night in Los Angeles, we saw the first occurrence of a position player taking the mound for the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019 when catcher John Ryan Murphy was pressed into two innings of work in an 18-5 loss to the Dodgers.
Let’s not focus on that.
Instead let’s look at the other side of that coin — pitchers who can hit.
In team history, the D-backs have 24 home runs from 19 pitchers. That’s your challenge for this week, name the “pitchers who rake”.
We’ve given you the date of the homer(s), all you have to do is name the pitcher responsible.
You’ve got eight minutes. Good luck!
