## Resource

The Diamondbacks are clinging to playoff hope as they face a pivotal three-game series against the Cardinals, needing a win this weekend to avoid a late-season makeup game. Saturday’s 10 PM showdown at Chase Field features a lineup anchored by Corbin Carroll, who’s showing signs of breaking out of his slump with a game-tying homer, and a hot Tim Tawa at first base. On the mound, Brandon Pfaadt is pitching like a different pitcher — strong and effective, especially against St. Louis — while Dustin May brings his own history with Arizona. This is their chance to turn things around, play cleaner baseball, and build momentum before the season’s final stretch.
