If it’s the weekend, the D-backs must be playing the Giants. This is the 3rd straight Friday these two teams will kick off a series. Like everything else in 2020, it’s gone badly against San Francisco. The Giants hold a 5-1 edge, having been outscored the D-backs 30 to 14.
The reeling Diamondbacks were just swept in LA and have lost 13 of 14. On the heels of the trade deadline there has been obvious discord in the clubhouse coupled with unfocused play on the field. Yesterday starters Ketel Marte and Eduardo Escobar were benched and a trio of young players , Daulton Varsho, Andy Young and Josh Rojas were sent out to face Clayton Kershaw.
