The Diamondbacks enter today's series finale against the Washington Nationals with a chance to complete a rare sweep.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are on fire; today, they must keep their foot on the gas. They enter July 31st having won or split every series in July, with their last series loss coming on June 27th. While trapped in the heat of a Wild Card race, the Diamondbacks will turn to their ace with a chance to sweep the Nationals.Zac Gallen has faced some inconsistency since his return from the injured list in late June.
The Diamondbacks have made Nationals pitchers work in this series, and if they are once again able to knock Gore out early it should set them up for success. His 14 walks in his last 4 outings also bodes well for a patient Arizona club.The Diamondbacks had an incredible offensive outburst yesterday, putting up 17 total runs against the Nationals. This offensive barrage was led by 3 home runs from Third Baseman Eugenio Suarez, as he continues a breakout month of July.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. notably returns to the lineup today, this time at DH. He was removed from the game yesterday, and there was some injury concern from fans. Today he will get a day off his feet, but the D-backs won't lose his bat in an important finale against the Nationals. The team ran a scan on Moreno's wist, but X-rays came back negative, meaning the D-backs once again have seemingly dodged a bullet on Moreno's health. Moreno will be available off the bench today according to manager Torey Lovullo.
