The Diamondbacks are coming off a series win against the Rockies, after pulling out a couple of hard fought wins in games 1 and 3 of the series. It’s a good start to see them holding their own against teams that they evenly match up against, such as the Rockies, Guardians, and SF, but the next step has to be showing up against anyone actually over .500.
Before the Rockies series, Lovullo announced that the eam would be moving towards a “closer by committee” approach, after Melancon’s well documented struggles in certain aspects of the role this season.
