Diamondbacks News
Ildemaro Vargas' impressive 27-game hit streak came to an abrupt halt in the Diamondbacks' frustrating 2-0 loss to the Cubs, leaving fans to ponder what could have been had he not gone 0-for-4 at the plate. This defeat caps a dismal stretch for the D-backs, who have now dropped five of their last seven games, struggling both offensively and defensively, averaging only 4.4 runs per game while allowing a staggering 7.3 runs per game. With Gabriel Moreno returning to the lineup, the hope is that this will ignite a spark in an offense that has sputtered in recent contests. As the Diamondbacks sit just above .500 at 16-15, they must regroup quickly to compete against the Cubs again in their next matchup.
