Giants Looking to Extend Hot Streak
San Francisco is riding high with two straight wins and a 35-48 record overall. The Giants' pitching staff is built on steadiness, with Logan Webb and Robbie Ray anchoring the rotation. Tyler Mahle takes the mound Tuesday with a sharp 1.96 ERA and a strong 1.09 WHIP. Casey Schmitt has been swinging a hot bat lately, hitting safely in six straight games with multiple hits five times. The Giants need this kind of consistency from their lineup to stay competitive as they climb back into the race.
Mahle's durability and ability to pitch deep into games make him the kind of starter who keeps San Francisco in every matchup. The defense and lineup will need to support him with runs. Every game matters when you're fighting to improve your record.
Rodriguez Duels Mahle in Arizona Showdown
The Diamondbacks are 41-42 and looking to snap a three-game losing streak. They're strong at home with a 24-17 record at Chase Field. Eduardo Rodriguez takes the hill with a 2.04 ERA and 23 strikeouts. The Diamondbacks' pitching staff has real talent with Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly at the top. Rodriguez brings experience and has proven himself as a reliable starter. Arizona can stay in this game if Rodriguez locates his pitches early. Both teams need wins badly, making this a must-watch showdown between two pitchers ready to battle.
What to Watch at Chase Field Tuesday

Both pitchers are ready to shut down the other team's hitters. Look for Casey Schmitt to keep his hot bat rolling for San Francisco. The Diamondbacks' bullpen needs to find ninth-inning consistency to close out wins. This game will test which team can execute when it matters most.
