The Arizona Diamondbacks hope ace Zac Gallen can help end their nine-game losing streak on Saturday when the franchise celebrates its 25th anniversary during a clash versus the visiting San Diego Padres at Phoenix.
Arizona, which has not won since July 31, dropped a 10-5 decision on Friday in the opener of the three-game series against the Padres.
"I don't know what else to do," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said of his team, which is 12 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers after being tied with them for first place in the National League West at the All-Star break. That was one month ago. In contrast to Hill's woes against Arizona, Blake Snell continued his mastery of the Diamondbacks on Friday."The strikeouts are always there and he limited the hits, so it ended up being another Blake Snell game," said San Diego manager Bob Melvin, whose team snapped a four-game losing streak.Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Juan Soto and Xander Bogaerts were a combined 5-for-59 at the plate in the four straight losses to the Dodgers and Seattle Mariners.
