Summary
Eduardo Rodriguez and Michael Soroka did their part against the Pittsburgh Pirates this week, but the Diamondbacks lost yet another series as the offense mustered only seven hits in the final two games. How concerning is Ketel Marte's slow start? Meanwhile, Rodriguez turned in perhaps his best start as a Diamondback. What worked so well for him on Tuesday? Also, we explore Ryne Nelson adding a new pitch to his arsenal and a wave of roster decisions coming up as Carlos Santana nears return from injury. Finally, we preview the upcoming series against the New York Mets. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory. 🌶️ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
