## Resource

Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga blanked the Diamondbacks for seven innings as the D-backs dropped their fourth game in their past five and moved to 2-5 on their road trip. Why did the D-backs struggle so much against Imanaga, and why didn't Gabriel Moreno pinch hit in the seventh? Meanwhile, D-backs starter Ryne Nelson took a big step in the right direction. Will he need to use his secondary stuff more to succeed moving forward? We also discuss whether Alek Thomas' leash is getting short after a big defensive mistake in Friday's game, how the team will handle Carlos Santana's return and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory. 🌶️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
