The D-backs swept the San Francisco Giants, and all indications are that Ketel Marte is back. After hitting a walk-off home run in Tuesday's game, Marte reached base in all four plate appearances in the finale. We discuss Marte's tremendously bad luck finally turning around.
We also discuss our other series takeaways. Does Ryan Waldschmidt have the power to blossom into a superstar? Is Corbin Carroll alright after getting hit in the head by a throw to third base? Is the D-backs' bullpen actually good?
Finally, we preview the team's series against the Colorado Rockies. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

Despite an eventful final two innings, the Diamondbacks left Colorado with a series win behind a stellar outing from Michael Soroka and a two-homer game from Corbin Carroll. Carroll explained after the game what's been working for him offensively, and we dive in to some larger trends with D-backs swing decisions.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Moreno and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. are showing signs of coming out of slumps offensively, and Eduardo Rodriguez delivered another solid outing. After a rough outing on Sunday, could Brandon Pfaadt be optioned to Triple-A Reno?
Finally, we preview the upcoming series against the San Francisco Giants. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.

The Diamondbacks had seemingly pulled off an impressive comeback against the Texas Rangers on Wednesday, but the Rangers then gave them a taste of their own medicine in the bottom of the ninth. Paul Sewald blew his first save of 2026 as the D-backs ultimately fell, 6-5.
What went wrong for Sewald in the ninth? We also discuss the offense struggling to come through with runners in scoring position before finally breaking through in the ninth. Other takeaways from the series include Corbin Carroll having better at-bats, Michael Soroka continuing his strong season and Zac Gallen once again struggling to get swing-and-miss.
Finally, we discuss the D-backs trading Alek Thomas to the Los Angeles Dodgers and the upcoming series against the Colorad Rockies. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on this live postgame edition of Snakes Territory.
