## Resource

The Diamondbacks cruised to a 9-3 win over the Dodgers on Friday behind a huge day from Tim Tawa, another stellar outing from Eduardo Rodriguez and a whole lot of Dodgers miscues. We break down Tawa's statement game at first base and revisit the decision to bring him back to the majors. We also discuss Mike Hazen's recent comments on the Diamondbacks' first base search. Is the team seeking external help? What options are out there? Finally, we give the latest injury updates on Michael Soroka, Corbin Burnes and others. Can Soroka make it back before the trade deadline? How might that affect the team's plans? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers for this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.
