The Diamondbacks salvaged a series split against the San Diego Padres behind a stellar outing from Merrill Kelly and just enough from the offense, including a solo home run by Nolan Arenado. What worked for Kelly in the win?
We also react live to the news that the D-backs designated Pavin Smith for assignment and recalled Ryan Waldschmidt from Triple-A Reno. How will we remember Smith's complicated D-backs tenure, and what's the plan at first base moving forward?
Finally, we discuss Torey Lovullo's job security as the team sits in a precarious position in the NL wild card race. Join Jesse Friedman and Jack Sommers on Snakes Territory.
