## Resource

Arizona Diamondbacks squander a critical chance as the offense falters in an extra-innings loss to the Miami Marlins. Can Torey Lovullo ignite a sense of urgency and revive Arizona’s postseason push before it’s too late? [George Lund] breaks down the Diamondbacks’ recurring struggles with runners in scoring position, debatable lineup choices—like Geraldo Perdomo in the cleanup spot and Pavin Smith over Tim Tawa—and evaluates clutch pitching from Michael Soroka and breakout performances by Gabriel Moreno. Key topics also include Justin Martinez’s blazing 103.8 mph fastball, bullpen reliability, and the implications of Nolan Arenado’s injury scare. With the Phillies and Padres stumbling, is Arizona missing its window to grab the NL Wild Card? Don’t miss this sharp analysis of the Diamondbacks’ fading playoff hopes and what needs to change fast.
