Great news! Brian Snitker confirms Braves’ interest in signing any of these three top pitchers available at the same price range. Which of them would you prefer to see enter the Truist Park?

The Diamondbacks lost 6-2 to the Atlanta Braves at Chase Field on Tuesday night. Zac Gallen, the ace starter, allowed five runs in 5.1 innings. Adam Duvall homered for three runs on his 104th and final pitch. It was a 0-2 curveball that stayed just high enough in the middle of the plate for the slugger to golf it out to left field, giving Atlanta a 5-0 lead at the moment. Gallen’s pitch count skyrocketed owing to a difficult 36-pitch second inning. Marcel Ozuna’s leadoff double was followed by a walk and a passed ball from Gabriel Moreno. That cost Gallen since the following batter, Eddie Rosario, hit a fielders’ choice grounder to third that would have been a double.

Following an RBI ground out, Orlando Arcia hit a line shot right at second baseman Ketel Marte. The ball appeared to knuckle as it clanked off his glove. It trickled into right field, where a second run was scored. It took Gallen two more hitters to get out of the inning, and his pitch count had reached 53 by the end. Torey Lovullo was seen meeting with a visibly angry Marte many times in the dugout following. “He was furious because he didn’t make the play and let the team down in that time. I simply wanted to reassure him that he didn’t.
