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.
