The world of wacky relief debuts Share this story Photo by Dustin Bradford/Getty Images As was mentioned on the broadcast last night, Matt Peacock became the first pitcher since Marino Pieretti of the 1945 Washington Senators to get the win and a hit, while making his debut in an extra-inning game. Pieretti was the starter in that contest, and tossed all 12 innings of the 4-3 victory. But I thought it might be interesting to look at how Peacock’s debut stacks up among relief pitchers. He’s not the only one to get a hit in his first game. That’s actually a bit more common than you might think, Peacock becoming the 193rd such pitcher. Actually, the last such reliever to execute the feat was also a Diamondback. Taylor Clarke did it on April 20 last year against the Cubs, combining with Zack Greinke on a four-hitter, and for his three innings of work (like Peacock), was awarded a save. Though for a reliever to get a hit AND a run in his debut is rarer. There have only been two such cases since the D-backs came into existence in 1998, most recently Brandon Dickson of the Cardinals in 2011.
