The Diamondbacks' recent games have been nothing short of spectacular, showcasing their offensive prowess and resilience on the field. On June 12th against the Los Angeles Angels, they turned Chase Field into a fortress, securing a commanding 9-4 victory. This win was characterized by an explosive offense that racked up 15 hits and capitalized on scoring opportunities with precision. The team's batting average stood at an impressive .405 for the game, coupled with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .511 and slugging percentage (SLG) of .703.


Another notable performance came against the San Diego Padres on June 9th at PETCO Park where they replicated their offensive dominance by scoring 9 runs off 15 hits. Despite committing one error during this game, their ability to convert hits into runs was evident as they maintained a batting average of .375 and an OBP of .432.

However, it wasn't just their hitting that has been commendable; their pitching staff has also stepped up when needed. Against the Padres again on June 8th but suffering from defensive lapses which led to two errors contributing to a loss despite limiting San Diego's offense significantly in terms of hits allowed.


As we look ahead to their clash against the Nationals, it is clear that if AZ can maintain this level of performance - especially in hitting while tightening up defensively - they stand a great chance at coming out victorious once more. The Nationals will certainly not make it easy for them; however, based on recent performances and statistics alone, Diamondbacks fans have every reason to approach this game with optimism.
