Diamondbacks News
Brandon Pfaadt delivered a stellar performance, earning his first MLB win against a struggling Casey Mize, who just faced the D-backs a day earlier. The Diamondbacks flipped the script from a disappointing 4-9 loss to the Padres, showcasing their resilience with a commanding 10-4 victory. This bounce-back not only fueled hopes for a strong finish but also deflected some criticism aimed at GM Mike Hazen for not acquiring a high-profile pitcher like Mize or Robbie Ray. Meanwhile, promising talent Ryder Helfrick made a splash in his pro debut with three hits, including a decisive home run for Single-A Visalia. With a recent 5-2 record and a run differential of +5, the D-backs seem to be rounding into form as they face off against the Padres again, but questions linger about their pitching depth as they push for a playoff spot.
