D-backs Hot Streak Meets Mariners Surge

The Arizona Diamondbacks are riding a 11-game win streak, tied for the NL Wild Card lead, fueled by Ketel Marte’s MVP-caliber performance. Heading to Seattle for a three-game series against the Mariners — who lead the AL West despite a modest record — the D-backs face a tough test. Seattle’s offense is heating up, led by Julio Rodriguez, and their pitching staff includes a stacked bullpen. Key matchups feature Zac Gallen, Ryne Nelson, and Merrill Kelly against George Kirby, Bryan Woo, and a Mariners’ “piggyback” bullpen. With both teams boasting elite relief arms and the Mariners showing playoff-caliber resilience, this series could be a pivotal barometer for the rest of the season.
