Preview: D-backs at Pirates, 3:30 p.m., FOX Sports Arizona

After a 10-1 stretch that pushed them 12 games over .500, the Diamondbacks (31-22) have dropped three games in a row, matching their longest losing streak of the season. Both of their previous three-game skids -- April 12 through 15 and May 6-9 -- were followed by three-game winning streaks.

They have fallen into third place in the NL West -- 2 games behind division-leading Colorado -- despite having the sixth best record in the major leagues.

The biggest overriding concern continues to be the lack of consistent offensive production on the road. They are scoring just 3.
