Looked it up. That was strike 1 and the first pitch of the AB. Lopez (#52) struck out 1 batter, that batter being Goldschmidt. He blew him away with a 97 MPH fastball in the low and away corner.

Watch Goldschmidt suck ass for 3 months, get traded to the Astros for a used scratch off, and then go on to hit 150 wRC+ for them and bring them back into play contention.
