POSTGAME: D-backs Starting Rotation in CRISIS? Gallen SHELLED for 6 in Loss to Cubs

The Arizona Diamondbacks’ starting pitching continues to unravel, and this time it was Zac Gallen who couldn’t stop the bleeding, allowing six runs and exiting early in a tough series-opening loss to the Chicago Cubs. We break down the all-too-familiar first-inning struggles that keep putting this team behind the eight ball, plus another big night from Ildemaro Vargas as he extends his impressive hitting streak and Geraldo Perdomo helping spark a comeback effort that ultimately came up just one run short. What’s going wrong with the rotation, and what needs to change fast? We dive into the concerns surrounding the starters and what Arizona needs moving forward. Plus, we check in on some of the organization’s hottest prospects in another edition of Snake Farm. 0:00 Another early deficit leads to loss  2:40 Atrocious starting pitching  6:30 Ildemaro Vargas does it again  9:00 Players struggling right now  20:45 Zac Gallen's worst start so far  26:50 Bullpen does there job  33:25 Top SPs letting D-backs down  40:35 Game 1 loss in Chicago  46:40 Upcoming schedule lightens up  54:20 Top prospect updates Limited-time offer!
