	Griffin Jax allowed seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over five innings in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox, taking the loss in a 10-0 defeat. Nicholas Rodriguez Fri, Jul 17th	Arizona's bullpen heading into Opening Day consists entirely of right-handed pitchers, and Ginkel and Juan Morillo have been tasked with handling tough left-handed hitters. Ginkel's career splits are nearly identical against both sides (.312 OBP vs. righties, .311 vs. lefties), though in 2025 he was more effective against lefties, posting a 90 OPS+ against them compared to 137 OPS+ when facing right-handed hitters. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 24th
