The Arizona Diamondbacks aim for a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants at Chase Field tonight, looking to extend their perfect 8-0 record against their NL West rivals this season. As reported by Arizona Diamondbacks On SI, the team is entering the series finale with key adjustments to their lineup.
Gabriel Moreno, who has maintained an impressive .307/.415/.475 slash line over the last 30 days, will start as the designated hitter rather than behind the plate. The shift comes as the team manages a hamstring issue for the catcher. Adrian Del Castillo is slated to take over catching duties for the night.
The spotlight also remains on Ketel Marte, who enters the game seeking to extend a home run streak that currently matches a franchise record. Marte secured his fourth home run in four consecutive games during Tuesday’s victory, a feat previously achieved by only six other players in team history.
On the mound, Zac Gallen is looking to stabilize his performance. Carrying a 6.15 ERA into the contest, the right-hander hopes to replicate his success from May 18, when he held the Giants to two runs over six innings. With the team riding the momentum of back-to-back wins, the finale serves as a critical opportunity to maintain their division standing.
