| 4/03/24 | Diamondbacks run out of options in bizarre loss to Yankees. In a stroke of irony, Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Scott McGough stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning against the New York Yankees at Chase Field for what was his first at-bat in five years on Wednesday. A “pitchers' lineup” had been a light-hearted side conversation in the clubhouse Zac Gallen brought up Tuesday, however through injury, substitutions and two extra innings the D-backs were stuck with a hitter with no at-bats since 2019 in Japan. McGough was caught looking at a Caleb Ferguson fastball off the outside edge to end the ballgame, 6-5 Yankees. New York (6-1) took two of three in Phoenix, while the D-backs finished the homestand 4-3. Source: https://arizonasports.com/story/3545438/what-led-t... |

| 12/07/23 | 2024 off-season stuff: left-handed relievers in Free Agency.. Last year we took a look at both closers and relief pitchers that were available in free agency and the Diamondbacks could sign. After several years of struggling with a patch-and-glue bullpen that didn't stick, it was time for Mike Hazen to make some serious moves and improve what had been one of the team's weakest parts thus far. While it was always far-fetched to expect the Diamondbacks to make a splash in the relief pitching market, not one bigger or not so little free agent relief pitcher showed up in Arizona in February. When the February fog was gone, we saw Scott McGough, Miguel Castro and Andrew Chafin appear. Source: https://www.azsnakepit.com/2023/12/7/23951308/2024... |

In his first save opportunity and third outing, he allowed back-to-back solo home runs to surrender a walk-off winner against the San Diego Padres on April 3.
