Diamondbacks hit the road

Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks hit the road for 10 games after taking three of four at Chase Field from the Milwaukee Brewers. The trip begins tomorrow night in Seattle, followed by three games in Houston and concludes with a four-game series in Washington against the Nationals.

Tough trip for the Diamondbacks (46-51).

If the Diamondbacks can mix in some timely hitting to go along with the excellent starting pitching they enjoyed during the series with the Brewers, then just maybe, the road trip could turn out to be a successful one.

With back-to-back shutouts -- a 2-0 win on Saturday behind eight strong innings from Rubby De La Rosa and a 3-0 victory today with six innings of work from Jeremy Hellickson -- the Diamondbacks must now string together some more series' wins. Winning one out of three games or gaining a split, just won't cut it. Arizona will return home with just 55 games left on the schedule.

Go get 'em, Diamondbacks!
