Game Preview
Adrian Del Castillo has quickly made his mark in the majors, stepping up for the Arizona Diamondbacks after starting catcher Gabriel Moreno was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this week.
In just two games, the 24-year-old catcher achieved a memorable feat by hitting a walk-off home run for his first career homer, securing a 3-2 win against the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night. Del Castillo will aim to build on his impressive start as the Diamondbacks continue their four-game series against the Phillies on Saturday night, with the teams having split the first two games.
Moreno, who suffered a left groin strain on Monday, could be sidelined for several weeks, prompting Arizona to call up Del Castillo from Triple-A Reno. At Reno, Del Castillo was batting .319 with 24 home runs and 70 RBIs over 100 games. In his brief stint with the Diamondbacks, he’s gone 4-for-7 with three RBIs, a double, and his memorable home run.
Del Castillo described his walk-off homer off Philadelphia’s All-Star right-hander Jeff Hoffman as an unforgettable moment, saying, "Straight up goosebumps, I don’t even know how to describe it in words. Just looking for a fastball over the plate and I got a good swing on it."
Arizona’s win was their fifth in six games, continuing their strong performance since the All-Star break, where they are 15-5. Manager Torey Lovullo praised Del Castillo’s debut, reflecting on the excitement of such a significant moment for a young player.
Joc Pederson also contributed with a home run in the victory over the Phillies, who had their ace Zack Wheeler allowing two runs and seven hits over six innings, including the homer to Pederson.
Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper hit his 26th home run of the season, and Johan Rojas added a run-scoring double. Despite the loss, the Phillies are 4-2 in their last six games.
On Saturday, a pitching duel features right-handers Aaron Nola (11-5, 3.54 ERA) for the Phillies and Zac Gallen (9-5, 3.75 ERA) for the Diamondbacks. Nola is winless in his last four starts and has struggled with a 4.37 ERA during this stretch. In his career against the Diamondbacks, Nola has a 2-2 record with a 7.67 ERA.
Gallen, on the other hand, has been strong recently with a 3-0 record and a 3.38 ERA in his last four starts. He struggled in the 2023 postseason against Philadelphia, but has been effective in the regular season with a 3-1 record and a 2.22 ERA against the Phillies.
Harper and Kyle Schwarber have had success against Gallen, hitting multiple home runs, while Alec Bohm and J.T. Realmuto have struggled.
