In their recent win against San Francisco, Arizona had notable contributions from Geraldo Perdomo and Randal Grichuk, who each had multiple hits.

NL Wild Card Race Intensifies as Giants and Diamondbacks Battle for Playoff Spot

Both the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks are currently vying for a spot in the NL wild card race, with the Giants trailing the Padres by 1.5 games and the Diamondbacks three games behind as of Wednesday night. San Francisco, despite a recent slump of seven losses in eight games, has the advantage of a stronger starting pitcher in Ray for the upcoming match. Pfaadt, although with eight wins, has struggled with an ERA above five and a FIP ERA of 4.89 indicating his performance is not due to bad luck. With 16 homers surrendered and nine batters hit by pitches this season, Pfaadt's stats are less than ideal. Despite Ray's recent 0-2 record in his last three starts, the Giants have struggled offensively in recent games, making a win for San Francisco on the road likely to provide them with the momentum needed in the wild card race.
