D-backs vs White Sox: Hot Bats vs Improving Arms

0:00It's April 21st. From first pitch to the final out, this is MLB News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story. Arizona Diamondbacks host the Chicago White Sox for a 3-game series, starting Tuesday night at 6.40pm, Mountain Standard Time at Chase Field. The D-backs sit at 13 wins and 9 losses, while the Sox are 8 and 14. White Sox offense just exploded for 22 runs over their last 3 games, after averaging barely 3 runs early on. Rookie's slugger, Munitaka. Murakami's leading the charge with 8 home runs and a 9-18 OPS. Four of those bombs in his last 6 games. D-backs grab a series win over Toronto, despite a Sunday loss, and they haven't dropped a series since opening week against the Dodgers, going 13 and 6 cents. Corbin Carroll shook off back tightness from that loss, and should play Tuesday, still slashing 300, 390, 600, with 15 runs and 16 RBIs.

1:02Pitching matchups kick off with Sean Burke, facing Merrill Kelly. Tuesday Burke solid last year here, but roughed up lately, Kelly rebounding from injury. Wednesday's Anthony K, fresh off a stellar Japan stint, versus Eduardo Rodriguez, who hit a snag after strong starts. Thursday, hot Davis Martin takes on D-backs ace Michael Sorroca, who's 4 and O with a 278 ERA. White Sox bullpen ranks 28th at 564 ERA, their weak spot, despite big spending. D-backs relievers drop to second best at 254 since early April, with Palsawold perfect in 7 saves. This matchup tests hot bats against improving arms should make for some fireworks.
