Snakes Territory: An Arizona Diamondbacks Podcast

The Diamondbacks made it close but ultimately dropped their series to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, losing the finale, 3-2. Eduardo Rodriguez was stellar yet again, but the offense stranded too many baserunners — and perhaps got a little unlucky in the process. We discuss our takeaways and revisit several key moments from the weekend.
Looking ahead to the trade deadline, we also discuss Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers as a potential target for the Diamondbacks. What makes Detmers attractive, and what would it take to get the deal done?
Finally, we discuss the D-backs' latest round of roster moves, our expectations for the upcoming Padres series and more. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory, the official Arizona D-backs show in the Foul Territory Network.

The Diamondbacks continued their dominance of the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday with an 8-2 win. Ketel Marte homered for a fourth consecutive game, Brandon Pfaadt threw well in his first start back in the majors and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. notched a pair of extra-base hits, including a three-run homer in the first inning. What were the keys to Pfaadt's success? Which other D-backs have homered in four consecutive games?
We also look back on Monday's game and Eduardo Rodriguez's continued dominance. Is E-Rod bound for the All-Star game? Plus, how big of a problem is the starting rotation's lack of swing-and-miss?
