Ludwick hit by a pitch in the first.
Then Chris Carpenter the pitcher was hit by a pitch, his left wrist, in the second and he was really pissed off. Ball went up and in. He was very verbal going to first. Then double play ball to end the inning he ran hard to second and had words with the 2nd baseman, causing the benches to clear. Carps batting average is about .100.
Both teams warned. Carpenter apologized to the D'Backs and the umpire right after that and after the game.
