Diamondbacks STARTING ROTATION in CRISIS? Gallen SHELLED for 6 in Loss to Cubs

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ starting pitching continues to unravel, and this time it was Zac Gallen who couldn’t stop the bleeding, allowing six runs and exiting early in a tough series-opening loss to the Chicago Cubs. We break down the all-too-familiar first-inning struggles that keep putting this team behind the eight ball, plus another big night from Ildemaro Vargas as he extends his impressive hitting streak and Geraldo Perdomo helping spark a comeback effort that ultimately came up just one run short.

What’s going wrong with the rotation, and what needs to change fast? We dive into the concerns surrounding the starters and what the D-backs need moving forward. Plus, we check in on some of the organization’s hottest prospects in another edition of Snake Farm.
