Diamondbacks News
In a gripping battle, the Diamondbacks fell to the Dodgers 2-1 in 10 innings, ending their hopes of extending a winning streak despite Brandon Pfaadt's brilliant performance. Pfaadt pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out two and allowing just two hits, but the D-backs couldn't capitalize on his efforts. Their offense remains a concern, as they managed only one run against L.A.’s strong pitching, albeit against a formidable opponent. However, there's a flicker of hope on the horizon with Michael Soroka expected to return to the lineup Monday, potentially bolstering the rotation. With their record now at 62-55, the D-backs must find a way to convert solid pitching into wins, especially as the division race heats up.
