PHOENIX (AP) — Ryne Nelson had dirt on his uniform pants, a skinned knee from sliding and an ear-to-ear grin. It was quite a day for the Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher — and it came at the plate. Nelson hit a bouncing ball through the infield for an RBI single in the middle of the D-backs’ eight-run eighth inning over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. It was the pitcher’s first plate appearance, hit and RBI of his big league career.
