D-backs' Pitching Woes Deepen in Loss

It's May 1st, Milwaukee Brewer's news today starts now, AI-powered and game ready.

I'm Cory with the story.

Arizona Diamondbacks is pitching woes, hit rock bottom Thursday, dropping a brutal 13-to-1 rubber match against Milwaukee.

Michael Soroka, who came in scorching with a 2.60 ERA, imploded for eight earned runs over four innings, spiking his mark to 4.70.

His fastball lost a tick of velocity, and that signature slurve lost his bite, no swing and mismagic.

The D-backs dug a six-nothing hole by the third, forcing the rotation to rethink everything fast if they want to stay in the playoff hunt.

Offends went quiet under the pressure, hitters forcing it instead of grinding.

One spark, though, ill-demaro Vargas snag two hits, stretching his hit streak to 26 games, now tied with Paul Goldschman for second and team.

History. This series exposed how foes flipped the script on Arizona's pressure style, constant at-bats, tidy, steady arms.

The staff had hummed at a 3.40 ERA lately, but metrics hinted at trouble, and now it's crumbling quick.

Heading to Rigglyfield for the Cubs, whose bats are on fire this year, the start is better lock in, or this road swing turns into a nightmare reel.
