What has happened to the Arizona Diamondbacks? This team has now lost seven in a row and 9 out of their last 10. Arizona has too much talent for numbers like that. Tonight they will try to turn it around when they head to the Coliseum for a 3-game set with the Oakland Athletics. Two lefties will face off tonight when Patrick Corbin taps the rubber for Arizona and Sean Manaea for Oakland. Corbin has pitched well at 4-1, with a 2.60 ERA, and a 2.71 WHIP. Manaea has come back down to earth since throwing a no-hitter on April 21st against Boston. In his last 3 turns, he is 1-1, with a 5.94 ERA, and a 1.44 WHIP. The A’s are 1-5 in their last 6 home games and 1-5 in Manaea’s last 6 Interleague starts. Arizona’s 5 time All-Star, Paul Goldschmidt, is batting just .200. It’s just a matter of time before Goldy gets hot. Tonight could be that night.
