The Arizona Diamondbacks may be running out of healthy players, but they might have found another arm they can count on. Rookie Kohl Drake was outstanding in his MLB debut, allowing just one earned run over five impressive innings to help lead the D-backs to a 4-2 extra-inning win over the Athletics. Max Kepler stayed scorching hot, launching a three-run homer in the first inning to give Arizona an early lead. But Paul Sewald‘s second blown save of the season denied Drake his first career win before the Snakes answered in the 10th, with Ildemaro Vargas delivering the walk-off hit.

We break down Drake’s electric debut, Kepler’s immediate impact since joining the Diamondbacks, Gabriel Moreno extending his on-base streak, and whether the bullpen‘s latest meltdown should cause concern. We also discuss Arizona’s growing injury crisis after Drey Jameson became the latest player to land on the 15-day IL with right hip inflammation.

Can the D-backs keep finding heroes despite the endless injuries, or is the mounting attrition finally catching up with their playoff hopes?
