D-backs Snap Streak, Moreno Returns

0:00On May 3rd, the heirs on the Diamondbacks dropped a shutout loss to the Chicago Cubs, snapping Ildemaro Vargas' impressive 27-game hit streak. It was a tough night overall, putting the team on the brink of a devastating series sweep. Manager Torrey LeVulo highlighted catcher Gabi Moreno's return from injury, saying it turns them into a different squad with his elite bat defensive. Smarts behind the plate and ability to handle big workloads on both sides. He mates couldn't praise Vargas enough. Pitcher Ryan Nelson called it, awesome to witness, loving the guy's energy in the clubhouse, while LeVulo told, him, how proud everyone was, and to fire up a new streak tomorrow. Allied Thomas has been struggling at the plate lately, which might open the door for a call up of hot prospect Ryan Walshmit from the miners to shake. Things up. The D-backs have to rally quick to dodge that sweep and build momentum, especially with key pieces like Moreno clicking back into place.
