Tue 8.8 6.40p: Urias vs. Pfaadt Wed 8.9 6.40p: Miller vs. Kelly
The Diamondbacks shared first place in the NL West at the All-Star break. Since then, they've absolutely cratered, inclduing losing their last six games coming into tonight, and now sit in third place in the division, nine games back of the Dodgers (the Giants are four games back).
The Dodgers have been on a tear, including taking three of four in San Diego, but it's not because of the pitching (Tony Gonsolin's "win" last night, 6.0 IP and 6 ER, actually raised his already elevated ERA further, to 4.42). We have been mashing the ball, thanks to Mookie Betts (grand slam yesterday, to put the Dodgers up 8-5), Freddie Freeman (OPS of 1.013), and even new additions Amed Rosario and Kike Hernandez have been surprisingly potent in the lineup. Heck, even Miguel Rojas went 2-for-5 yesterday, boosting his batting average to .221; now, only Max Muncy sits below Mendoza-line levels.
It would be nice to keep the mashing going in the desert here. Let's go smush some snakes.

Our offense is totally raking plus I really like watching our boys dance. Julio and Catman better figure it out FAST.
Seth Lugo accusing Dodgers of stealing signs from second base yesterday.
JD Martinez scratched late.
@karen: I have to admit, it looked suspicious in the box score, when the Dodgers couldn't solve Lugo over the first three innings, and then opened up an eight-spot in the fourth.
But they also scored five runs in the sixth, so who knows?!
Dodgers up 3-0, T5.
Kiké RBI double in the second.
Betts RBI double in the fourth, immediately followed by a Freeman RBI double.
Will Smith singles to left; Freddie to third. One out, T5
Hey Sax!!! The article said it wasn't what the *Cheaters did because they used technology where Our Boys were stealing signs from second.
