Arizona Diamondbacks 1, Texas Rangers 0: Love to Slurve You, Baby

Change on 2025: -1. It’s amazing to think that, not long ago, the D-backs’ rotation was going through one of the most wretched sequences in team history. On May 1st, here’s what Arizona’s starting pitchers had done over the previous two turns through the rotation: AZ rotation: 39 IP, 67 H, 48 ER, 24 BB, 33 SO, 11.

That’s now seven starts in a row where the starter has gone six-plus innings, and in all but one of those, they have also allowed one or zero runs. The total numbers across this period: AZ rotation: 47. 2 IP, 27 H, 8 ER, 15 BB, 40 SO, 1.
