The Diamondbacks dropped two of three to the Brewers in Milwaukee, and the two losses were about as ugly as it gets. D-backs pitchers allowed a total of 28 runs in the series, with Merrill Kelly, Michael Soroka and the since-demoted Andrew Hoffmann all allowing big crooked numbers. Is there any hope for the D-backs struggling pitching staff?

Meanwhile, Ildemaro Vargas' historic hit streak lives on, and Nolan Arenado's big home run on Tuesday highlighted a strong recent run offensively. We also discuss the D-backs adding Philip Abner as a left-handed reliever and previewing the upcoming series against the Chicago Cubs.

The Diamondbacks got swept by the Chicago Cubs, and all eyes are on a starting pitching staff that now has the worst ERA in baseball. Are there reasons to be hopeful that the D-backs' pitching staff can turns its season around? We dive in to the rest-of-season projections for D-backs pitchers, including starters, relievers and some of their minor-league depth.

Plus, we discuss a recent trend of bad first innings. Can Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll shake their current slumps? We also preview the upcoming series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Can the D-backs Fix The Worst Rotation in Baseball?

Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga blanked the Diamondbacks for seven innings as the D-backs dropped their fourth game in their past five and moved to 2-5 on their road trip. Why did the D-backs struggle so much against Imanaga, and why didn't Gabriel Moreno pinch hit in the seventh?

Meanwhile, D-backs starter Ryne Nelson took a big step in the right direction. Will he need to use his secondary stuff more to succeed moving forward? We also discuss whether Alek Thomas' leash is getting short after a big defensive mistake in Friday's game, how the team will handle Carlos Santana's return and more.

D-backs Get Shut Out by Imanaga & Cubs, Fall Back to .500

Down 7-1 to the San Diego Padres in the sixth inning on Sunday, the Diamondbacks stormed back to win one of the more memorable games in recent years. Of course, Ildemaro Vargas had a central role to play, notching three extra-base hits and driving in four runs on his way to winning NL Player of the Week.

Meanwhile, Ryne Nelson had not other rough outing, and several D-backs have gone down with injury, most recently Adrian Del Castillo. How soon should we expect him back?

We also preview the Diamondbacks' series against the Milwaukee Brewers and check in on the NL standings one month into the season. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
