At 37 years young, Merrill Kelly tossed the first complete game of his career against the Colorado Rockies on Friday as the Diamondbacks notched a 9-1 win. What worked so well for Kelly? Has he officially erased any reason for concern after his slow start?

We also discuss another successful day for the offense, including a four-hit day from Ildemaro Vargas and the first four-walk game of Nolan Arenado's career. Plus, is Gabriel Moreno finally looking like himself again?

Finally, we discuss the D-backs' bullpen usage getting back under control with the starting rotation covering more innings lately. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.

For the first time in more than two weeks, the D-backs lost a game that did not go down to the wire. Instead, Bryan Woo tossed seven scoreless innings and Ryne Nelson gave up four homers in a 5-1 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

What's up with Nelson give up so many home run this year? And what went wrong for the D-backs' offense? We also revisit Friday's 10-inning loss to the Mariners, in which Brandon Pfaadt allowed a key run out of the bullpen. Is it time for the D-backs to send Pfaadt down to Triple-A? We also talk injury updates on Nolan Arenado, AJ Puk and others. Plus, we dream about a potential Tarik Skubal trade at the deadline. What would it take to entice the Detroit Tigers?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/dbf3bcaf-970a-41bf-9658-b45b00637b49/transcript

The Diamondbacks continued their ownership of the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, completing their second sweep in the past week. Michael Soroka was stellar once again, and the D-backs capitalized on several pivotal Giants mistakes.

We discuss our takeaways from the series, from the starting rotation's continued success, to Ketel Marte hitting a 452-foot home run, to some shaky bullpen moments, to Ryan Waldschmidt starting to look a bit more human. We also talk injury updates, with Nolan Arenado being the latest addendum to the report. When will Arenado return, and what about Pavin Smith, Jordan Lawlar and others?

Finally, we take a look at the Diamondbacks' playoff odds and preview the upcoming series against a Seattle Mariners team that appears to be heating up. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

Michael Soroka Deals As D-backs Sweep Giants Again

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/77c891ab-8415-4ff3-b6ee-b458001e42d4/transcript

The Diamondbacks are on fire. After beating the Giants 6-2 on Memorial Day, they are back to a season-high five games over .500. Have we ever seen a run like the one Ketel Marte is on right now? And will he and Corbin Carroll form one of the best position player duos in baseball the rest of the season?

Meanwhile, Merrill Kelly continued his recent run of success, and D-backs starting pitchers at large are pitching deep into games with regularity. Also, Tommy Troy has burst on the scene with three hits in his first two big-league games. How will the team handle the upcoming roster crunch with Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Pavin Smith and others due back from injury soon?

Finally, we discuss where the D-backs stand in the NL playoff picture, including a look at the playoff odds. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
