Arizona Diamondbacks aim to snap a three-game road skid as they head to Boston to face the Red Sox in a pivotal third matchup this season. The D-backs, at 66-61, are chasing momentum against a Red Sox squad boasting a better record (68-58) and a strong home slate (31-31). Boston thrives when hitting multiple homers—25 times this year—and Arizona shines with eight or more hits (47-24). Key hitters include Contreras (25 HR, 48 XBH) and Abreu (9-for-34, 2 HR in last 10) for Boston, while Carroll (18 HR, 57 RBI) and Arenado (4 HR, 9 RBI in last 10) lead Arizona’s offense. Both teams are 4-6 in their last 10 games, but Boston edges ahead with a slightly lower ERA (3.49 vs. 3.89). With several players sidelined, the pitching duel features Pfaadt (7-1, 3.11 ERA) vs. Tolle (8-6, 2.97 ERA, high strikeout rate), setting the stage for a tense afternoon showdown in Fenway Park where the Red Sox are slight favorites.
