## Resource

The Arizona Diamondbacks were completely overwhelmed by the Washington Nationals on Friday night, suffering a brutal 14-1 loss at Chase Field. What should have been a memorable night for LuJames Groover’s Major League debut quickly turned into a nightmare as the D-backs were blown out on their home field. We break down Merrill Kelly’s disastrous outing, which drew comparisons to another terrible start against Washington from last season, and discuss an Arizona offense that continues to search for answers at the plate. We also give flowers to Adrian Del Castillo, who was the D-backs’ best pitcher tonight Plus, we share our thoughts on the mystery Corbin Carroll 30/30 bobbleheads, what this loss means moving forward, and whether Arizona can bounce back after one of its most embarrassing performances of the season.
