Diamondbacks Face Tough Road Test in NL Central

0:00On April 26, the Diamondbacks wrap up their Mexico City home series Sunday, April 26, with Ryan Nelson on the mound against the Padres, Michael King. Nelson sitting at 1-2 with a 6.97 ERA, while King's 3-1 with a sharp 2.28. They get an off day before heading to Milwaukee for three games against the Brewers starting April 28. Meanwhile, the Brewers boast the stack-starting rotation, led by Strike Out King Jacob Missy Rowsky topping the National League as of April 22. They're often homes with guys like Bryce Tarrang and William Contreras, though Christian Yelich is sidelined. Last year, Arizona snagged 4-7 from Milwaukee, including a tight split in August, but the Brewers pushed to the playoffs while the D-backs fell short. Fans remember those close contests, none decided by more than two runs, highlighting how evenly matched these teams are. Milwaukee's won five of seven series this season entering their Tigers match-up, making this a tough early row test for Arizona in a packed in L-Central, where every squad's over 500.

1:08Then it's straight to Riggly for three against the Hot Cubs, May 1 through 3rd, all at 11-20 a.m. Arizona time. Chicago wrote a seven-game win streak into late April, powered by Ricky Catcher, Moises, Balisteros, leading in average in a steady rotation. They took four of seven from the D-backs last season, including a wild 13-11 thriller. This road swing shapes up as a grind, but short hops between stops keep legs fresh, expect fireworks against these rotation heavy crews as Arizona. Bill's momentum pulls Mexico City.
