The team takes on the Cincinnati Reds in a critical must-win series with ace Zac Gallen back on the mound.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are in Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Reds . They start a three game series Tuesday afternoon after having a day off on Monday. They are fresh off a major win over the San Diego Padres to avoid being swept and to get back into the win column. Today's game against the Reds will be on D-backs TV and start at 3:40 PM local AZ time.
Outfielder Alek Thomas, who had been expected to come up alongside Sewald, appears to have suffered a setback in his hamstring injury, according to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. Rather than being reinstated, Thomas will head back to Phoenix to be re-evaluated. Gallen has struggled through his last two starts. Over those 10 innings, he's 0-2 with 12 hits given up, five runs, two walks, and nine strikeouts. The strikeouts haven't been hard to come by for Gallen with 35 in just 32 innings. Gallen has limited walks mostly, but has been hit hard this season with a lower fastball velocity. His Hard-Hit % is a staggering 52.3% which is in the 2nd percentile among MLB pitchers.
During that span, he's walked 10 and just struck out 14. The command has been an issue for Montas which can lead to plenty of walks for Arizona hitters if they stay patient. Over Montas' last three starts, he pitched just 7.2 innings due to injury and giving up nine hits, eight runs, and six walks against only five strikeouts.
