The Los Angeles Dodgers have some needs with their pitching, ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Bob Nightengale revealed some of those needs.

The Diamondbacks are reeling and look to be sellers at the trade deadline. The Mets could use another starting pitcher. This seems like a match between the two.

The Arizona Diamondbacks finish July in Detroit against the Tigers, then begin August in northern California against the Athletics.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will try to make it two straight against the Pirates on July 26 in the second game of their series in Pittsburgh.

Garcia is a 25-year-old left-hand relief pitcher the Diamondbacks just acquired from the Seattle Mariners as part of a trade that sent Josh Naylor to Seattle. Arizona also acquired right-hand starter Ashton Izzi in the deal, but he is in High-A Hillsboro to start his Diamondbacks career.

Andrew Heaney and five relievers combined on a four-hitter, Oneil Cruz hit his team-leading 17th home run and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0 on Saturday night.
