On Saturday, Chase Field will be vibrant with the colors and sounds of Mexican culture as the Arizona Diamondbacks host Mexican Heritage Night during their game against the Detroit Tigers.
The Arizona Diamondbacks and Detroit Tigers will be well rested before starting a three-game interleague series Friday night in Phoenix. The Diamondbacks had Thursday off after a three-game series win over the Cincinnati Reds earlier in the week.

“It gets late early out there,” to quote (who else?) Yogi Berra
The Diamondbacks have been doing a lot better of late. The 2024 season hopefully reached its low point with the 13-1 shellacking by the Padres at Chase Field on May 4, a defeat which saw the team drop to a record of 14-20. It saw their Fangraphs playoff odds drop below one in four for the first time this year, sinking to 24.3%. That probably felt optimistic, considering after the...

Arizona Diamondbacks’ Brandon Pfaadt shuts down Reds in latest sharp performance
“He’s been on the rise,” Lovullo said. “But the postseason, for me, took him to a whole different level emotionally.”

Pfaadt’s slider untouchable in best start of ‘24

TL;DR: The starters dueled to a standstill, the bats were ice cold, and the D-Backs offense bookended their runs to seal another series victory.
It’s rare that games or series live up to their billing, but this series and especially this game absolutely did: the pitching dominated, the Reds completed a track meet, and runs were at an absolute premium. After last night when the...
Led by Brandon Pfaadt’s strong seven-inning outing, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in a quick game that was the team’s shortest since August 5th, 2008, finishing in just 1 hour and 59 minutes.
Heading into the bottom of the 8th inning in a tied game with the series hanging in the balance, Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo opted to substitute Pavin Smith for Randal Grichuk as a pinch hitter.
Brandon Pfaadt’s outstanding start set the tone for an impressive Diamondbacks win over the Cincinnati Reds. A strong day from Pfaadt, the bullpen, and a couple of clutch hits in the eighth inning was enough for the team to walk away with a 2-1 win to take the series.
Amidst ASU’s search for a new athletic director following the resignation of Ray Anderson six months ago, recent reports suggest that the college will promote someone from within.

Slade Cecconi and the Diamondbacks dropped a game that should have been an easy win on Tuesday night.

Slade Cecconi started out strong, but once again ran into issues as he made his way through the order a second time. Corbin Carroll continued to struggle, as did Gurriel, Logan Allen, and others. Meanwhile Hunter Greene found his groove.

Victories have been in short supply for the Cincinnati Reds over the past three weeks. The Reds will try to win back-to-back games for the first time since April 23-24 when they close a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon in Phoenix.

The runs came in twos and Slade still can’t solve the second time through the order.
The Diamondbacks sent Slade Cecconi to the hill to try and secure our penultimate game of the season against the Reds. Just last week when Slade faced these same Reds, he made it through 5.1 innings allowing only 1 run on a solo shot by Jeimer Candelario. He did walk his season high (3) in last week’s outing while also getting his season low of punch outs (2), so I was...
Against his former team, Kevin Newman delivered his first signature moment with the Diamondbacks, driving in a two-run walkoff single to secure a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.

Ginkel did his best Stinkel Impression Again but Newman Bailed Him Out

Record: 20-22. Pace: 77-85. Change on 2023: -4.Well. That was certainly a game, wasn’t it? For a long time, it looked like Arizona was going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They had a parlayed a combination of truly terrible situational hitting, another relief meltdown and deeply crappy umpiring, taking a game which should have been well in hand, and going to the bottom of the ninth facing defeat. But three free base-runners and Kevin...
