Diamondbacks Face Braves Pitching Test | MLB News

Arizona’s playoff push hits a major hurdle as they face the NL East-leading Braves in a high-stakes three-game series.

Pitching matchups are stacked: Brandon Pfaadt takes on Cy Young-caliber Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez squares off against Grant Holmes (who’s been lucky), and Michael Soroka, fresh off the IL, battles Bryce Elder — who just gave up too many runs last time out. This is Arizona’s chance to prove they belong in October — and their starters better deliver. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
