The Diamondbacks’ recent series loss to the Rockies exposed a glaring offensive flaw: leaving 21 runners stranded while scoring just four runs. Manager Torey Lovullo called it out bluntly, saying he’d expect at least ten runs if told upfront they’d have that many on base. The team’s focus now is sharpening their efficiency with runners in scoring position. Pitcher Merrill Kelly, though visibly fatigued, kept battling — so much so that Lovullo pulled him in the sixth to avoid overworking him in a 6-1 game. Despite the setbacks, the D-backs are looking ahead to Atlanta with a clean slate, emphasizing cleaner play across the board — offense, defense, and pitching. They’re acknowledging the gaps, especially in clutch moments, but remain committed to turning things around.
