Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks are gearing up for a crucial series of games after facing some setbacks in their recent matchups. Despite losing three of their last four games, the team remains six games above .500 as they prepare to take on the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on Tuesday night.
Pitching will be a key factor in the upcoming game, with Zach Gallen taking the mound for Arizona. So far this season, Gallen has shown promise with a 3.36 ERA and a winning record, standing six games above .500. However, his performance on the road has been a bit inconsistent, as he holds a 4.97 ERA after surrendering 39 runs over 63.1 innings of work away from home. Gallen will be looking to regain his dominance on the road as he faces a formidable Giants lineup.
Despite facing some challenges, Arizona’s offense has been impressive throughout the season, tallying 926 hits and 517 runs in 106 games played. Christian Walker has been a standout player, leading the team with 68 RBIs and 22 home runs. Meanwhile, Ketel Marte holds the team’s highest batting average at .296, coupled with an impressive .375 on-base percentage.
In the past few games, the Diamondbacks faced mixed results. They fell to the Seattle Mariners in a 5-2 loss on Friday, rebounded with a narrow 4-3 victory in game two, courtesy of two RBIs from Dominic Canzone. However, on Sunday, their offensive struggles were evident as they mustered only three hits in a 4-0 loss. Emmanuel Rivera was one of the bright spots, contributing one of the team’s hits and the only walk. The Diamondbacks will be looking to improve their offensive output and regain their scoring form in the upcoming games.
Ryan Nelson to start for the Diamondbacks
For the Monday opener against the Giants, the Diamondbacks will turn to Ryne Nelson as the starting pitcher. Over 21 starts in 2023, Nelson has achieved a 6-5 record with a 4.97 ERA and 74 strikeouts across 112.1 innings. He has shown promising form in his recent outings, going 3-1 with a 4.39 ERA and 28 strikeouts over 41.0 innings in his last seven games.
The Diamondbacks know they face a tough challenge ahead, but they remain determined to bounce back from their recent losses and continue their impressive overall performance. With strong pitching and an offensive lineup boasting talented players like Walker and Marte, Arizona aims to leave a mark at Oracle Park and secure victories against the Giants.
Players to watch: Christian Walker 1B (GP 102, AB 384, R 56, H 101, 2B 32, 3B 0, HR 22, RBI 68, TB 199, BB 43, SO 82, SB 7, AVG 0.263, OBP 0.339, SLG 0.518, OPS 0.858, WAR 2.8, Ketel Marte 2B (GP 99, AB 382, R 71, H 113, 2B 18, 3B 7, HR 17, RBI 55, TB 196, BB 45, SO 70, SB 6, AVG 0.296, OBP 0.375, SLG 0.513, OPS 0.888, WAR 4.4.
San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants are riding high on their home field, boasting an impressive record of 10 games above .500 and securing four wins in their last five outings. As they prepare to face off against their opponents, the team will rely on their star pitchers, Alex Cobb and Jakob Junis, to lead them to victory.
On Tuesday night, the Giants will hand the ball to Alex Cobb, who has been a force to reckon with this season. With a remarkable 3 games above .500 and a stellar 2.97 ERA, Cobb has been instrumental in the Giants’ success. His dominance at home has been particularly noteworthy, posting a 4-1 record in eight outings with an incredible 1.09 ERA, allowing just six runs in 49.2 innings of work.
While the Giants’ pitching has been top-notch, their performance from the plate has been somewhat average this season. With a .242 team batting average, San Francisco has managed to score a total of 476 runs. Their slugging percentage stands at .398, and they have hit 121 home runs collectively. JD Davis leads the charge with fourteen home runs, while Michael Conforto takes the lead in RBIs with 52. Lamont Wade Jr. has been the team’s most consistent bat, maintaining an impressive .268 batting average.
Jakob Junis to start for the Giants
As the Giants prepare for their Monday start, Jakob Junis will take the mound. With a record of 3-3 and a 4.79 ERA, Junis is a formidable force, capable of taking on any opponent. The team briefly considered starting Alex Cobb for the Monday matchup, but he has been penciled in for Tuesday’s game instead.
On the other side of the diamond, the Giants faced an intense series against the Boston Red Sox. After a narrow 3-2 loss on Friday, they rebounded with a hard-fought 3-2 win on Saturday, thanks to two hits and a solo homer from JD Davis. In the Sunday rubber match, San Francisco clinched a thrilling 4-3 victory in the 11th inning, with Joc Pederson delivering the walk-off RBI hit, and Wilmer Flores adding two hits and an RBI.
