Diamondbacks News
Ildemaro Vargas is the silver lining in the Diamondbacks' struggles, extending his hitting streak to 27 games and setting a new record for Venezuelan players. While Vargas continues his impressive form, the D-backs have hit a rough patch, dropping another close game to the Cubs 5-6, leaving them at 16-14 and 3-4 over their last seven. Zac Gallen's inconsistency on the mound raises concerns as he struggles to find his rhythm, and with a run differential of -15 in that span, pitching woes are evident. The team designated Aramis Garcia for assignment, signaling a shift as they aim to find the right mix to turn this season around. As they face a challenging schedule ahead, the D-backs must rally behind Vargas and find a way to sharpen their focus if they want to stay competitive.
