June has been an up-and-down month for the Diamondbacks. The team is 6-8 this month, and they will now head east to play the Phillies. The Phillies went 14-10 in April and have been on the downhill ever since, as they now sit six games under .500.

The once-decent Diamondbacks have just simply not been able to put it all together for long stretches this season. They’re currently 10 games under .500 and are 12.5 games behind the Giants in the NL West, and are coming off a series loss against the Dodgers.
