Well, the despite the rough start, the Diamondbacks did manage to win their series against the A’s, like they had to. It was another series, however, that highlighted their current lack of starting pitching, more than decimated due to injuries. The return of Zac Gallen was a welcome breath of relief. The question becomes will it be enough while we wait for further reinforcements. The net of 5-5 they are over the last ten games just won’t cut it.
The Dodgers are facing plenty of injuries themselves right now, and, for what seems like the first time all season, have seen their lead shrink a bit.
