July 2, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Arizona Diamondback Pitcher Zack Gallen (23) threw the first innings against San Francisco veterans in the Chess Field. Compulsory Credit: Matt Kartzian-Imgon Picture Erizona Diamondback stepped into six matches for three matches from San Francisco giants for the final wild-card spot in the National League on Saturday night, in the competition against Los Angeles Angels in Anahem, California and three matches for three matches below .500 points.
It puts the club of the Tori Lovullo in the midst of trading speculation as an approach to the trading time limit of 31 July. And if the diamondbacks are actually in the mood to be sold, the right -handed zack gallons may be one of the major pieces on this step.
Gallon (7-9, 5.15 ERA), two-five finalists for the NL Sye Young Award, have raised a terrible 3-7 to win four of their last six decisions. The stretch includes a back-to-back win over veterans and San Diego Padress, which saw him that he allows just one earned run and 10 hits to be taken out of 19 in 13 innings.
“It’s part of the business,” Galen said about the business talks. “Obviously, for me, I do not like to hear this, just for the fact that it indicates that we are at the place where it is a capacity.”
A series win over Angills after leaving the opener on Friday night’s walk on the walk-off of Travis D’Arnod, the pinch–single in the ninth, combined with a strong start after the next week’s all-star break, may mean that the diamondback may become a buyer instead of sellers.
“I am just trying to do some more string and start together and see where we are on the deadline,” Galen said. “Hopefully we are in one place [where] A very least front office does not reduce this team and decides to add some pieces to this ballclub. ,
Gallon is 0–1 with 5.14 ERA at the beginning of a career against Los Angeles. It lost 5–2 in Anahem in 2023 when he allowed four runs on five hits, including domestic runs by Mike Trout and Mickey Moniyak, for more than 12 innings.
All-star Left-Handing Yusai Kikuchi (3-6, 3.02 ERA), which is 1–1 with 5.81 ERA in five careers against Arizona, is going to start for angels on Saturday. Los Angeles moved within Tampa Bay’s 3 1/2 Games for the final American League Wild-Card spot with Friday’s win.
D’ARNAUD line up a pinch-hit single of relieving Kyle Backs under the Left Field Line to drive from the second base with a game-winning run. This was the sixth walk-off hit of D’Rnod’s career.
“Just keep things simple, try and bind on baseball,” D’Rnod said about his approach. “We already had the first and second runners on the first, so I didn’t need a homer to win it. Fortunately, I got a pitch to hit, and I just got lucky and it fell inside.”
Zach Neto and Yoan Moncada had three hits for angels both Homered and Luis Rengifo and Nolan Schanuel. Kenley Jnasen made a scorer ninth to win his third win. Randal Grichuk scored two domestic runs and scored three runs for Arizona and doubled.
D’ARNAUD said that nine games behind the Houston Astro of the fourth place in the fourth place in Al West, even at the fourth place in Al West, believe that they can score a run in Postsen.
“Just keep walking. We are not out of it,” D’Rnod said. “We all want to make a playoffs this year. Obviously, we want to win the division as well.”
