In their short history, the Diamondbacks have been known to invite position players to pitch an inning in games that have already been blown out.<br />The first such appearance occurred on August 30 of their 2001 division-winning season, when Manager Bob Brenly decided to pitch veteran outfielder Steve Finley for an inning of relief.<br />Although Finley pitched a shut-out, no-hit inning, he walked a batter and also hit a batter.<br />Brenly did this twice, as has current manager Bob Melvin.
