Brandon Pfaadt delivered a clutch six-inning performance for the Diamondbacks, allowing just two earned runs against the Cardinals — exactly what the team needed as their bullpen braces for overuse. Returning from the minors, Pfaadt’s fifth straight solid start has slashed his ERA from over 5.00 to 4.43, now ranking him third among healthy starters. He stranded seven runners, escaped jams without overpowering strikeouts, and kept the game in control — even after allowing hard contact. With starters barely lasting five innings since the All-Star break, Pfaadt’s deep outings are a lifeline, and his recent turnaround — fueled by a minor tweak and Reno success — couldn’t come at a better time for a team counting on him to carry the load.
