PHOENIX — If body language was any indication, Friday's starting pitchers had a good idea how the Arizona Diamondbacks' 7-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins would go.
Madison Bumgarner watched Byron Buxton's leadoff fly ball land 10 rows up in the left-field seats and seemed to shrug as he waited for another baseball. Devin Smeltzer watched Jordan Luplow's bottom-of-the-first answer, a two-run blast to put Arizona ahead, and fumed at himself for the down-the-middle fastball that made it possible.
The Twins put 10 runners on base during Bumgarner's first five innings, but the veteran lefthander, a three-time World Series champion who hadn't won a start in more than a month, appeared unimpressed, allowing only one runner to score after Buxton's leadoff homer.
