Diamondbacks Seek NL West Surge in Pivotal Giants Series
29 Jun
Summary
- Diamondbacks host Giants in crucial 4-game series
- Resurgent pitcher Rodriguez looks for 3rd win this month
- Royals visit Diamondbacks over Fourth of July weekend
The Arizona Diamondbacks are currently in the midst of a lengthy homestand, having just concluded a 3-game series against the Miami Marlins on June 29. The Diamondbacks are now set to host the San Francisco Giants for a crucial 4-game series from June 30 to July 3.
This series could be a pivotal one for the Diamondbacks, as they are within striking distance of second place in the National League West. The Giants and San Diego Padres have been trading that spot all season, but neither team has been playing consistently well, allowing the Diamondbacks to inch closer.
The Diamondbacks will send resurgent left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez to the mound, as he looks to secure his third win this month. Following the Giants series, the Diamondbacks will welcome the Kansas City Royals over the Fourth of July weekend.
The Royals' offense has been better on the road than at home this season, and they remain in the American League wild-card race despite a recent 9-game home losing streak. The Diamondbacks will look to capitalize on the Royals' road woes as they aim to continue their climb in the NL West standings.
