Diamondbacks Seek Sweep in Crucial Mariners Homestand

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been on a recent upswing, winning their last two games against the Seattle Mariners and aiming to complete a three-game sweep to reach a .500 record. They currently hold a 33-34 record, trailing the NL Wild Card by five games, while the Mariners stand at 33-33 in the AL Wild Card race. Key players for the Diamondbacks include Corbin Carroll, who leads the team with 39 extra-base hits, and pitcher Merrill Kelly, who has been effective despite some recent rough outings. The Mariners, struggling with a seven-loss streak in their last ten games, rely on pitcher Bryan Woo, known for his reliable starts and a high percentage of fastballs. Both teams have shown competitive stats in slugging and pitching, setting the stage for a critical series at Chase Field that could significantly impact their playoff prospects. The matchup also features Eduardo Rodríguez returning from injury for the Diamondbacks, adding depth to their pitching rotation as they seek momentum.
