“Today there was a man on second base and it was all ruined and it took longer than I hoped it would last,” Greinke said, according to MLB.com. ‘It’s 50 percent my fault and 50 percent’s Maldy’s fault. … I do not like to spend time with a man on second base. I’m trying to find a way to speed that up. So far this year has been good. It’s ruined today. ”

Greinke has risen very well since the season started last month. In four starts and 21 1/3 innings, he outscored 18 bosses and recorded a 2.53 ERA.
