The Diamondbacks shake up the order as they take on the Giants as they come to Chase Field for the first time in 2024
The Diamondbacks return home today on a 3 game stop in Phoenix. They take on the Giants for the first time since a mid-April matchup between the teams in San Fransisco. The D-backs will try to carry on some great offensive momentum they discovered in New York as they try to find their footing in a tight Wild Card race once again.
While Nelson's underlying numbers look like there could be some positive development to a more stable place, his pitch mix has not shown those same optimistic developments. His cutter has continued to be a liability and his fastball is being relied on heavily as a putaway pitch leaving him vulnerable at times and unable to get out of at-bats quickly.
The Diamondbacks will face an opener in Erik Miller who will go for the Giants in a bullpen game. Miller, the lefty, has a 4.00 ERA in 27 innings pitched, but has been far better recently. In his last 7 games he has a 1.42 ERA in 6.1 innings thrown. Having Miller face the top of the Diamondbacks lineup makes sense, with Joc Pederson hitting in the 3 hole who has stark platoon splits.Corbin Carroll has been dropped down to 8th in the batting order.
His strong on-base number of .348 have also led to some much-needed injections of chaos into D-Backs games, something that has been lacking early this year with Corbin Carroll's struggles and injuries to Alek Thomas and Geraldo Perdomo.
