Summary
The Arizona Diamondbacks are back below .500 after another frustrating loss to the San Diego Padres. We break down Zac Gallen's disastrous first inning and how he bounced back with five scoreless frames. Despite jumping out to an early lead, the D-backs offense once again went quiet, managing just one run the rest of the way, with Gabriel Moreno's 2-for-4 performance standing out as one of the few bright spots. We discuss what this latest loss means for Arizona's increasingly slim playoff hopes, whether Gallen is running out of time to prove he can still help Arizona win games, and what the D-backs must do to avoid letting the season slip away. Plus, Baseball America released its updated midseason farm system rankings, and the Diamondbacks made one of the biggest jumps in baseball. We explain what's behind the rise and why the organization's future may be brighter than its current playoff outlook.
