The Diamondbacks got swept by the Chicago Cubs, and all eyes are on a starting pitching staff that now has the worst ERA in baseball. Are there reasons to be hopeful that the D-backs' pitching staff can turns its season around? We dive in to the rest-of-season projections for D-backs pitchers, including starters, relievers and some of their minor-league depth.

Plus, we discuss a recent trend of bad first innings. Can Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll shake their current slumps? We also preview the upcoming series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
