Chicago Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga blanked the Diamondbacks for seven innings as the D-backs dropped their fourth game in their past five and moved to 2-5 on their road trip. Why did the D-backs struggle so much against Imanaga, and why didn't Gabriel Moreno pinch hit in the seventh?
Meanwhile, D-backs starter Ryne Nelson took a big step in the right direction. Will he need to use his secondary stuff more to succeed moving forward? We also discuss whether Alek Thomas' leash is getting short after a big defensive mistake in Friday's game, how the team will handle Carlos Santana's return and more.
