Hirano retired one of the two hitters he faced in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Marlins, giving up a base hit in a 12-pitch appearance.

EDGE Analysis

After starter Zack Greinke was unable to close out the seventh inning, Hirano was summoned to the contest with baserunners on first and second base. Hirano induced a Starlin Castro groundout to end the threat, then allowed a single to begin the top of the eighth inning before getting the hook. Hirano now maintains a 1.84 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 24.2 innings this season and seems to be the Diamondbacks' clear No. 3 relief option behind closer Brad Boxberger and setup ace Archie Bradley.
