It was a night to remember for Diamondbacks rookie Jose Fernandez. He went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs in his major league debut, including a go-ahead, three-run shot against Kenley Jansen that led the D-backs to a thrilling comeback win over the Detroit Tigers.

How did Fernandez burst on the scene so quickly? How often should we expect to see him in the lineup moving forward? We also discuss Brandon Pfaadt's uneven season debut and look ahead to what could be a very difficult rotation decision between Pfaadt and Michael Soroka.

Finally, we discuss the latest injury updates on Adrian Del Castillo, Merrill Kelly, Corbin Burnes and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers for another live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep of the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday behind six scoreless innings from Zac Gallen and a Corbin Carroll home run against Tigers ace Tarik Skubal.

What worked so well for Gallen on Wednesday? Is the lack of swing-and-miss through two starts concerning? Is Corbin Carroll on the verge of becoming an NL MVP frontrunner? We also discuss an impressive run by the D-backs bullpen, Jose Fernandez's slick double play and Nolan Arenado and Carlos Santana struggling offensively.

Finally, we preview the upcoming series against the Atlanta Braves. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

For the third consecutive day, an early Diamondbacks lead got away. On Saturday, Dodgers catcher Will Smith launched a go-ahead, two-run home run in the eighth inning against Juan Morillo, helping the Dodgers to a 3-2 win and a series sweep.

We discuss Eduardo Rodriguez building off his stellar World Baseball Classic outing with a solid performance on the mound. We also discuss the Diamondbacks offense going silent in the later innings of every game in the series.

Did this series change how we view the D-backs' bullpen? Are the baserunning mistakes here to stay? And what did we make of Ryne Nelson's season debut on Friday? Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers live on another live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.

Will Smith Spoils Eduardo Rodriguez Gem, D-backs Swept By Dodgers

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/5336ce11-669f-44b2-b947-b41c0059ffe7/transcript

What appeared to be a Zac Gallen Opening Day gem turned south in the fifth inning as Andy Pages launched a three-run homer, giving the Dodgers that they never lost. Things only got uglier from there as the Dodgers added five more runs while the Diamondbacks' bats fell silent against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers' bullpen.

What went wrong for Gallen in the fifth? Was anything different from last year? Meanwhile, the D-backs made multiple costly baserunning mistakes, and the offense mustered only one hit after Geraldo Perdomo's two-run homer in the fourth.

We also discuss the positives, from a Jordan Lawlar double to a clearly improved infield defense. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers for this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.
