Diamondbacks News
The Diamondbacks' woes continued with a disheartening 1-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, completing a sweep that leaves them struggling at 41-41 on the season. Merrill Kelly's recent struggles were on full display, as he remains mired in a quest for answers to his pitching challenges. The offense, once a bright spot, has become increasingly stagnant, averaging just 2.9 runs per game over the last week. Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte can't carry the load alone, and without a boost, this team risks falling further behind in a crowded division. As the D-backs look to regroup, they must find a way to ignite their bats and get back on track before the season slips away.
