Diamondbacks Hit the Road for Crucial Series
7 Jun
Summary
- Michael Soroka seeks eighth win against Nationals on June 7.
- The team embarks on a six-game road trip starting June 9.
- Key matchups include series against the Marlins and Reds.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to conclude their seven-game homestand on Sunday, June 7. Right-hander Michael Soroka will take the mound, aiming for his eighth win of the season against the Washington Nationals. Soroka currently leads the Diamondbacks in wins this season.
Following an off day on Monday, June 8, the Diamondbacks will commence a six-game road trip. The journey begins with a three-game series in Miami from June 9-11, followed by three games in Cincinnati from June 12-14. The Marlins, despite not being projected for the postseason, have players hitting well, and their starting rotation is anchored by Max Meyer, who was undefeated with a low ERA as of June 3.
The Reds are also competing fiercely in the National League Central. While their star shortstop Elly De La Cruz is a major offensive threat, his availability is uncertain due to a hamstring injury sustained on June 1. The Diamondbacks have a history of injuries at Cincinnati's ballpark, with Gabriel Moreno and Cristian Mena having suffered significant setbacks there last season.
