Skaggs gets rocked in first spring start
Tyler Skaggs - S - Arizona Diamondbacks
Feb. 23, 2013 - 7:00 PM ET

Tyler Skaggs got hit around Saturday in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League loss to the Rockies.

Skaggs allowed four runs -- two earned -- on four hits over 1 2/3 innings. But this is little cause for concern for the 21-year-old lefty, who figures to be part of the Diamondbacks' Opening Day starting rotation. Skaggs made six starts with the club in 2012 and is one of the team's top prospects. Saturday was nothing more than a typical first-start-of-spring stat line.
