Diamondbacks News
The Arizona Diamondbacks' high-powered offense emerged from a recent slump, exploding for 10 runs against the San Francisco Giants, but the pitching woes of Kohl Drake kept it a nail-biter. After averaging just 2 runs per game in their previous four outings, the D-backs jumped on Giants starter Blade Tidwell early, scoring six runs in the first three innings. Manager Torey Lovullo's plan to go "full-throttle" with the bullpen is a clear sign of desperation as the D-backs sit at 71-64, grappling for a postseason push while nursing 12 players on the injured list. With the offense showing signs of life, fans can only hope this newfound momentum can carry them through the stretch run, as they prepare for another showdown with the Giants.
