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.
