Overview

  • Arizona shut out Seattle 1-0 in the series opener to seize a 1-0 lead in Phoenix.
  • Brandon Pfaadt is scheduled to start Game 2 on Tuesday against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo at Chase Field.
  • Both clubs enter the series under pressure, with Arizona losing 12 of its last 17 games and Seattle dropping 11 of 17.
  • The Diamondbacks continue without ace Corbin Burnes for the season after Tommy John surgery and have multiple pitchers on the injured list.
  • Seattle is also hampered by injuries to arms such as Logan Gilbert and Gregory Santos even as Cal Raleigh leads MLB with 26 home runs and Ketel Marte has reached base in 21 straight games.
