Diamondbacks' Greinke effective in first spring start (Yahoo Sports)

Zack Greinke's first spring training start Friday wasn't about any results or the outcome, his manager stressed beforehand. For new Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo, it was simply about watching his ace go to work. The veteran right-hander was limited to 33 pitches, but struck out one, walked one and allowed an infield hit in 1 2-3 innings against his former team, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
