POSTGAME: Eduardo Rodriguez, Gabriel Moreno LEAD D-backs to Gritty Win Over Nationals

The Diamondbacks stayed red hot on Friday night with a road win over the Washington Nationals. Eduardo Rodriguez made big pitches when he needed to, and Gabriel Moreno continued his two-plus-month run as one of the best hitters in baseball. We give E-Rod and Gabi their flowers and discuss our takeaways from the game.

We also take a look at the latest wild card standings and dive in to general manager Mike Hazen's comments on the upcoming trade deadline. Is pitching now a bigger priority than a middle-of-the-order bat? Could the D-backs exceed the first competitive balance tax threshold?
