The Arizona Diamondbacks were flat-out dominated by the Los Angeles Angels, getting blanked 7-0 in one of their ugliest losses of the season. Merrill Kelly was terrible in his start, surrendering 11 hits and six earned runs, while the D-backs offense offered little resistance with just four hits in the shutout defeat. We break down what went wrong on both sides of the ball, who deserves the blame, and whether Arizona can quickly turn the page. Plus, there was at least one bright spot at Chase Field, as Korean two-way sensation Jun-Sang Eom officially signed with the organization and immediately won us over as fans during his first appearance in the Valley. We also discuss prospect Manuel Pena's promotion to Triple-A Reno, what it says about his rapid development, and why he could factor into the D-backs' future plans at first base.

The Arizona Diamondbacks finally got a big night from Pavin Smith, whose first home run of the year helped lead the way to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Chase Field on Monday. Derek recaps Smith’s big night proving us wrong, a late run by Geraldo Perdomo being the difference maker, and Ryne Nelson giving the Snakes another 7 inning quality start.

The Arizona Diamondbacks finally got back on track in Cincinnati, taking two of three from the Reds for a much-needed series win.
