Diamondbacks' Pitching Collapses in Milwaukee

On April 29th, the Diamondbacks kicked off their series in Milwaukee with a brutal 11 run loss on Tuesday night.

Pitching fell apart early, defense slipped on easy plays, and the bad stayed quiet until the 5th inning.

Merrill Kelly started but couldn't find the zone, walking 5 and giving up 5 runs over 5 innings.

That bullpened doors swung wide open in the 6th, when reliever Andrew Hoffman came in and got shell for 8 runs and just went out.

The young guys dealing with some tough luck and shaky fielding behind him, but the team needs arms that go deeper.

No shock if they shuffle the roster soon, maybe sending him to triple A Reno.

Fans are feeling the sting from that trade last year when they shipped out Chad Patrick a 4th round pick for Jace Peterson who barely contributed.

Patrick, now with the brewers through 2028, no hit Arizona through 5 and this cutter looks nasty already.

It's one of those deals from the Hazen era that's aging real poorly.

Offense scraped together, just 3 hits and 5 walks, but couldn't string anything together.

One ray of light, I'll tomorrow Vargas pushed his hitting streak to 24 games, including 21 to start the season.

Weird note 2, XD back Jake Woodford snagged a save in a 13-to-2 blowout.

Eduardo Rodriguez takes the Hill Wednesday to try splitting the series and the D-backs got a tight enough quick

against a brewer squad that's always locked in.
