The Diamondbacks continued their dominance of the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday with an 8-2 win. Ketel Marte homered for a fourth consecutive game, Brandon Pfaadt threw well in his first start back in the majors and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. notched a pair of extra-base hits, including a three-run homer in the first inning. What were the keys to Pfaadt's success? Which other D-backs have homered in four consecutive games?

We also look back on Monday's game and Eduardo Rodriguez's continued dominance. Is E-Rod bound for the All-Star game? Plus, how big of a problem is the starting rotation's lack of swing-and-miss?

Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

Ketel Marte Homers Again, Brandon Pfaadt Shoves As D-backs Win 8th Straight vs. Giants

With the backdrop of a heavily taxed Diamondbacks bullpen, Eduardo Rodriguez delivered perhaps his best start of the season and helped the D-backs win a huge series over the Pittsburgh Pirates. How does E-Rod keep doing this? We also discuss Gabriel Moreno's big swing that gave the D-backs their lead.

Meanwhile, Paul Sewald is officially no longer the Diamondbacks closer after another clunker on Tuesday in which he allowed three runs and blew the save. What is the plan for the closing role moving forward?

We finish with some injury updates and the latest trade deadline buzz with the deadline just five days away. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the Arizona Diamondbacks podcast in the Foul Territory network.

The Diamondbacks lost back-to-back games to the Washington Nationals over the weekend, dropping the series and the season series in the process. We dive in to our top takeaways. What went wrong for D-backs pitching? Is it time to be concerned about the bullpen?

We also talk about a couple of rough Ketel Marte at-bats, and how they are indicative of a troubling trend for him in 2026. What will it take for Marte to get back on track? Finally, we discuss a list of 10 potential rental trade targets, including 5 starting pitchers and 5 position players. Could any of them be game-changers for the D-backs down the stretch?

D-backs' Biggest Weakness Exposed vs. Nationals; 10 Rental Trade Targets

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2a731058-f5b6-4ec3-b4de-b49400099df4/transcript

The Diamondbacks stayed red hot on Friday night with a road win over the Washington Nationals. Eduardo Rodriguez made big pitches when he needed to, and Gabriel Moreno continued his two-plus-month run as one of the best hitters in baseball. We give E-Rod and Gabi their flowers and discuss our takeaways from the game.

We also take a look at the latest wild card standings and dive in to general manager Mike Hazen's comments on the upcoming trade deadline. Is pitching now a bigger priority than a middle-of-the-order bat? Could the D-backs exceed the first competitive balance tax threshold?
