With a record of 64-66, the Diamondbacks currently sit third in the NL West, trailing the Padres by 10 games for the top spot and the Mets by 5.5 games for the final wild card spot in the National League playoff race. Despite a strong offensive showing with 14 hits, highlighted by notable performances from Blaze Alexander, Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Geraldo Perdomo, and Jalen Beeks, it was Nabil Crismatt and Jake Woodford who led the team to victory on the mound, with Woodford earning his first save. Eduardo Rodriguez is set to start his 23rd game of the season for the Diamondbacks, with a 5-7 record and a 5.40 ERA. In his last outing, Rodriguez contributed to a 6-5 win over the Guardians, and in his last three starts, he has posted a 1-0 record with a 4.74 ERA. Rodriguez has previously faced the Brewers three times, with a 0-2 record and a 2.60 ERA, including a solid performance at American Family Field in 2017.

Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee suffered their fourth loss in six games against the Giants on Saturday, despite a strong performance from Freddy Peralta. Christian Yelich was the only player with multiple hits in the game, and the Brewers struggled with runners in scoring position. Grant Anderson took the loss in relief. Brandon Woodruff will start the upcoming game against the Diamondbacks, boasting a solid 4-1 record with a 2.47 ERA this season. Woodruff has had success against the Diamondbacks in the past, with a 2-1 record and a 4.28 ERA in seven starts against them. In his career, Woodruff has a 2.79 ERA in 62 starts at American Family Field.

Woodruff's Start Pushed to Monday as Diamondbacks Look to Extend Winning Streak

Woodruff was originally scheduled to start on Sunday against the Giants, but his start was postponed until the following day. The Arizona Diamondbacks came into Sunday's game with a four-game winning streak, as they strive to remain in contention for a wild card spot. With a road record of 30-35, the Diamondbacks will be traveling after concluding their series with the Reds. In contrast, the Brewers will be playing at home with no travel involved, giving them a rest advantage. Rodriguez has struggled throughout the season, evident in his ERA and WHIP, while Woodruff has been a valuable asset to the Brewers' pitching rotation. It is anticipated that Milwaukee will bounce back with a win in this match-up.
