Diamondbacks News

The Arizona Diamondbacks notched a gritty 2-0 win against the Chicago Cubs, bolstered by Eduardo Rodriguez's stellar pitching performance that further solidifies his surprising Cy Young candidacy. Rodriguez’s ability to consistently baffle hitters has been a revelation this season, and with Lawlar's surprising power surge following a near head injury, the D-backs seem to be finding their rhythm just in time for the stretch run. Yet, the team's recent run differential of -5 tells a darker story about their pitching struggles, especially as they let leads slip away too often. Meanwhile, the unexpected release of Zack Littell reflects the urgency within the organization to find reliable arms. As the D-backs sit at 70-63, they'll need to get hot and tighten up their pitching to keep pace in the competitive NL West.

Avery Owusu-Asiedu has long been a tantalizing prospect. Standing 6-foot-4 and checking in around 245 pounds, he destroys the baseball when he hits it and can run like the wind. But until a few weeks ago, things hadn’t come together all at once on the diamond. And then the calendar

Eduardo Rodriguez Delivers Again as D-Backs eke out win
I have a confession to make. This whole season, I have been waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop for Eduardo Rodriguez. I had a difficult time believing the same pitcher who had posted consecutive seasons with ERAs north of five could somehow transform himself into a legitimate Cy Young candidate. There were some […]
