Paul Sewald Not Happy As D-backs Get Rained Out vs. Cardinals

The Diamondbacks' series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals was postponed, and closer Paul Sewald took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the decision. Why didn't the Cardinals move the start time earlier? How will the D-backs line up their pitching this weekend as a result?

Arenado, Gurriel Deliver in Ninth as D-backs Hold On vs. Cardinals

After eight innings of scoreless baseball on Tuesday night in St. Louis, the Diamondbacks' offense finally broke through for four runs in the ninth — and narrowly held on for a 4-3 win over the Cardinals. We discuss Nolan Arenado and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. coming through with a pair of elusive hits with runners in scoring position. We also discuss Paul Sewald nearly giving up that lead in the ninth before Brandyn Garcia entered to save the day. Is Garcia the Diamondbacks' most trustworthy reliever?  We also dive in to a plethora of upcoming roster decisions, from Mitch Bratt making his big-league debut on Wednesday, to Brandon Pfaadt potentially re-entering the rotation on Friday, to the question of whether Pavin Smith has started his last game as a member of the Diamondbacks.

Soroka, Lawlar Exit Early But Carroll & D-backs Cruise Past Twins

It was an eventful day for the Diamondbacks at Chase Field. On the positive side, Corbin Carroll notched his franchise-record-tying 52nd triple in a 9-5 win over the Minnesota Twins. However, Michael Soroka and Jordan Lawlar exited the game early, and just hours prior, news broke that Ryne Nelson has an elbow injury that will shut him down for 4-6 weeks. When could each of these injured D-backs return, and who might need to step up in their absence? How could the recent run of injuries affect Mike Hazen's trade deadline plans? Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers discuss all this and more on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory. 🌶️ See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
