With the Diamondbacks bullpen gassed and the season series on the line, Eduardo Rodriguez delivered perhaps his most impressive start of the year with seven innings of two-run ball with nine strikeouts against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. We dive in to E-Rod's latest gem vs. the Dodgers, and Torey Lovullo's decision to send him back out for the seventh.
We also discuss Ketel Marte hitting a big two-run homer early, a defensive mishap in the outfield and a D-backs offense that is crushing lefties but doing very little against righties. Plus, we give Brandon Pfaadt his flowers after a chaotic but entertaining 10-inning game on Saturday.
Finally, we talk about expectations for new D-backs right-hander Zack Littell, and preview the upcoming series against the Colorado Rockies. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona D-backs show in the Foul Territory Network.

Ryan Waldschmidt stunned Edwin Diaz and the Los Angeles Dodgers with his first career walk-off homer on Friday, sending the Dodgers to their seventh consecutive loss and leading the D-backs to a huge series opening win. We break down Diaz's bizarre pitch selection, Waldschmidt's postgame comments and what has allowed Waldschmidt to make such a big contribution in his rookie year.
We also discuss several other key moments in the game, including Juan Morillo and Brandyn Garcia working out of big jams, and Nolan Arenado turning in an excellent at-bat in the eighth inning even though it didn't go his way.
Finally, Jack brings injury updates on a bunch of players, including Michael Soroka, Jordan Lawlar, AJ Puk and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory, the Arizona D-backs show in the Foul Territory network.

Two days after attempting to trade for Casey Mize, the Diamondbacks faced him — and knocked him out in the 4th inning in a blowout win over the Padres. Tim Tawa, Ryan Waldschmidt and Tyler Locklear led the way as the D-backs scored 8 runs on 9 hits against the veteran right-hander.
Meanwhile, Mitch Bratt turned in by far the best start of his career, with 7 scoreless, one-hit innings and 9 strikeouts. With Michael Soroka nearly back from the injured list, is Bratt's rotation spot officially safe?
Finally, we discuss some other news and notes, including the NL wild card picture, the D-backs moving Lars Nootbaar to the lead-off spot and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the Arizona Diamondbacks show in the Foul Territory network.
