Game Preview
The Arizona Diamondbacks, led by Merrill Kelly, aim to complete a sweep against Blake Snell and the San Francisco Giants in the final game of their series on Thursday afternoon.
Arizona’s starters, Ryne Nelson and Zac Gallen, have provided strong openings in the first two games, contributing to wins of 8-7 and 6-4, keeping the team firmly in the race for the second National League wild-card spot.
Conversely, the Giants have seen their playoff hopes dwindle, now trailing by 8.5 games in the wild-card chase with only 22 games remaining.
Kelly, returning from a shoulder strain, has enjoyed generous run support, going 2-0 in August despite a 6.75 ERA, thanks to his team scoring 32 runs across his starts. This year, he has not yet faced the Giants, against whom he holds a career 3.34 ERA in 18 starts.
Arizona’s lineup has been productive, tallying 40 runs over five games, even without key hitter Ketel Marte, who is nearing a return from a sprained ankle.
On the mound for the Giants will be Blake Snell, who has pitched impressively without much support, maintaining a 1.64 ERA in August and earning NL Pitcher of the Month. However, his efforts haven’t translated into wins due to low scoring by the Giants, who’ve mustered only 11 runs during his last four starts.
Snell previously struggled against the Diamondbacks in April, surrendering five runs in less than five innings. Historically, he has a strong record against them with a 1.86 ERA in nine starts.
Both teams are facing challenges, with the Diamondbacks pushing for playoff positioning and the Giants trying to ignite their offense to support their pitchers, who’ve seen late runs in games that don’t influence the outcome for starting pitchers.
