Thomas Shea-USA TODAY Sports

The scheduled starter for today’s game was originally Lance McCullers Jr, but he was scratched. Starting in his place is Luis Garcia. The Dbacks have actually seen him one time, in the farce of a 2020 season. He entered in relief for Zack Greinke. Gallen started for the Dbacks in that one.

Today Garcia goes up against Zach Davies. Davies has faced the Astros once, in 2020. Humberto Castellanos gave up 3 runs for the Astros in that one, as there is a deep drive to LF…
