San Francisco arrived in Phoenix as one of baseball's bigger disappointments. At 35-48, the Giants are in a race with Colorado for the worst record in the NL — a brutal outcome for a front office that signed Willy Adames, landed Matt Chapman, and traded for Rafael Devers expecting a contender. Devers is hitting .235 with a .729 OPS and has already created clubhouse friction under first-year manager Tony Vitello. Adames is at .225 with a .697 OPS while playing below-average defense. Chapman has managed just 7 home runs in 333 plate appearances. The bullpen situation is even worse: Hayden Birdsong had UCL reconstruction surgery, and Randy Rodriguez, Joel Peguero, Rowan Wick, and Jose Butto are all on the 60-day IL. The Giants did take 2 of 3 from Atlanta this past weekend — including a 5-0 shutout and a 3-2 win Sunday — which provides a small pulse heading into this series.

Arizona's offense needs to wake up after a dismal road trip. The Diamondbacks scored just 4 total runs across 3 games in Tampa, going 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position in the series opener alone. Jordan Lawlar is on the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain, James McCann is out at catcher, and Torey Lovullo has been running out of lineup combinations to explain a group that simply has not hit when it matters. The upside tonight is that Mahle's track record and San Francisco's threadbare bullpen should offer Arizona's lineup real opportunities — they just have to do something with them.
