Their 6-0 loss to right-hander Paul Skenes on Sunday, July 27, meant the Diamondbacks left town having dropped two of three to a subpar Pittsburgh Pirates team. It also meant they lost a second consecutive game started by a pitcher who could be traded in the coming days.

Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson worked six scoreless innings, giving up just one hit while walking two and strikeout four.

In what might be right-hander Zac Gallen’s final start, he and the Arizona Diamondbacks are trailing the Pittsburgh Pirates and right-hander Paul Skenes, 3-0, after five innings on July 27 at PNC Park.
