last night's loss

Tough week to look at. Losing by 2 last night pulls things in the wrong direction. Pair that with just 3.3 runs per game this stretch. Not enough.

Diamondbacks News

The Arizona Diamondbacks are stuck in a rut, scoring just one run for the fourth consecutive game and extending their miserable stretch of going hitless with runners in scoring position. With only 21 games left in the regular season, the urgency is palpable, but the team’s offensive woes are dragging them down as they head into a crucial series against the Houston Astros. Rookie Tommy Troy, recently back from injury, brings some much-needed energy, yet the D-backs need more than just enthusiasm, they need to convert opportunities into runs. On the bright side, the return of Corbin Burnes next week could bolster their pitching staff, but until the bats wake up and deliver consistently, the postseason hopes are at serious risk.

Diamondbacks 1, Astros 3: Consistency is Key?
Game Summary The Diamondbacks are nothing if not consistent. Unfortunately, D-Backs fans would perhaps prefer a different sort of consistency. The Snakes scored 1 run for the 4th game in a row have gone hitless with RISP for just as many games. This is their longest streak of RISP ineptitude this season, breaking a tie […]
