The Diamondbacks' pitching struggles continued on Thursday as Michael Soroka, once boasting a 2.60 ERA, allowed eight earned runs in four innings, causing his ERA to balloon to 4.70. Arizona's offense couldn't generate much of anything, falling behind 6-0 by the third inning and never recovering in the 13-1 defeat. amunra.help
Ildemaro Vargas provided a lone bright spot with two hits, extending his hitting streak to 26 games, which ties him with Paul Goldschmidt for the second-longest streak in franchise history. The Diamondbacks now head to Chicago to face the Cubs' potent offense at Wrigley Field, where another pitching performance like Soroka's could lead to another lopsided loss.
