Taylor Clarke Faces Rockies in Spring Training Matchup

Right-handed reliever Taylor Clarke is scheduled to start for the Diamondbacks against the Colorado Rockies. Clarke, who returned to the Diamondbacks this off-season after three seasons with the Kansas City Royals, has been effective this spring, having not allowed an earned run over four innings of work. He utilizes a four-pitch mix, highlighted by a mid-to-high 80s slider with strong glove-side break, and is noted for his ability to avoid walks.
