The Arizona Cardinals’ rookie class took to Chase Field to watch the Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Angels 11-1 on Thursday.
Before the game, Cardinals first-round picks Marvin Harrison Jr. and Darius Robinson delivered the ceremonial first pitches.
Harrison said on the TV broadcast he believed he threw a strike to Joc Pederson. Robinson knew his pitch to Geraldo Perdomo was out of the zone, but he felt the imaginary hitter would have swung through it.

Organized team activities and minicamp are done, so the Cardinals rookies had a chance to bond off the field to kick off a break from team workouts before training camp later this summer.
Phoenix Mercury stars Brittney Griner, Natasha Cloud and Kahleah Copper will throw out the first pitches on Friday, as the D-backs celebrate their seventh annual Pride Night.
