Аризона Даймондбэкс баг Рино багаас Хосе Кабрераг эгүүлэн дуудаж, Дрей Жэймесоныг доод лиг рүү шилжүүлснээр бүрэлдэхүүндээ өөрчлөлт орууллаа.
Хосе Кабрера энэ улиралд Аризона Даймондбэксийн төлөө дөрвөн тоглолтод гарааны тоглогчоор оролцсон байна. Тэрээр мэргэжлийн лиг дэх анхны гараагаа таван үеийн турш оноо алдалгүйгээр эхлүүлж байсан ч дараагийн гурван тоглолтод 12.2 үеийн турш 11 оноо алдсан үзүүлэлттэй байна. Түүний тоглолтын үр дүнтэй байдалд шидэлтийн харьцаа гол нөлөө үзүүлж байгаа тул Сан Францискод хийх өнөөдрийн тоглолтод энэ үзүүлэлтийг сайжруулах нь чухал байна.
Аризона Даймондбэксийн хувьд Чикаго Кабс багтай хийсэн цуврал амжилттай болж, улмаар “wild-card”-ын төлөөх өрсөлдөөнд байр сууриа бэхжүүлэх боломжтой болсон юм. Одоогоор Филлис болон Падрес багууд доогуур эрэмбэтэй багуудад хожигдсоноор Аризона Даймондбэкс тэдэнтэй ойртож, хүснэгтэд гурав болон нэг хожлын зөрүүтэй боллоо.
Багийн хувьд үлдсэн 28 тоглолтын 16 нь хожигдол ихтэй багуудтай хийх тоглолт байгаа нь давуу тал болж байна. Аризона Даймондбэкс Сан Франциско Джайнтс багтай хийх дөрвөн тоглолтын цувралын хүрээнд өрсөлдөгчөөсөө илүүрхэхийг зорьж байна.

Roster moves
The Arizona Diamondbacks made the following roster moves. The D-backs’ 40-man roster is at 39.
- Recalled from Triple-A Reno: RHP José Cabrera
- Optioned to Triple-A Reno following yesterday’s game: RHP Drey Jameson
The first of an expected flurry of moves for this series, what with the sudden double-header on Saturday, and the need for further starting pitchers. First up is Cabrera, who made four starts for Arizona leading up to the All-Star break. They were… just about okay, I suppose. A 5.60 ERA, but that was suppressed by throwing five shutout innings in his major-league debut. Once word got around, the three which followed were considerably less effective, allowing 11 ER over 12.2 innings. A big factor was a K:BB there of just 9:7, as major-league hitters simply laid off his pitches. Doing a better job there will be key tonight in San Francisco.
The series with the Cubs is in the books, and it went well for the D-backs in their wild-card race, combined with results elsewhere. Both the Phillies and Padres lost their series to teams below them in the standings, while Arizona beat a team above them. That closed the gaps to three and one games respectively, and also put a significant dent in the strength of schedule remaining. Now, the Phillies have far and away the toughest stretch run: ranked #3 with a .525 average opponent’s record. The Padres are about even, #16 at .499. But with the Cubs now crossed off, the D-backs have dropped to 24th, at just .485.
Of Arizona’s 28 remaining games, only 9 are against teams above them in the standings (series against the Yankees, Phillies and Padres). They also face the Marlins, who are above .500, at 68-66. But the remaining sixteen games are against sides with losing records. Those start with the four-game series here against San Francisco, while they won’t get to start Eduardo Rodriguez, I’d love for Arizona to take three of the four contests. Meanwhile, the Phillies have today off, before starting a series on the road against the Angeles tomorrow. And the Padres are similarly traveling, but face a tough set against the AL best Rays in Tampa. It’s a good chance for the D-backs to close ground there.
