00:00 - Geraldo Perdomo was excited to hear Blaze Alexander is playing outfield today.
00:00 - “Not everyone does that for a teammate. … There’s no way for me to repay them for that effort.” Ketel Marte thanked his teammates and manager for their intense effort in campaigning for Marte’s All-Star nod.

00:00 - “The fans have been unbelievable.” Torey Lovullo said the Chase Field crowd brought the energy despite the team’s struggles.
00:00 - “I’ll take that any day of the week.” Ryne Nelson discussed another good outing:
00:00 - "It's been tough on everyone... But we've still got a good team here and we're playing good baseball right now. Just got to keep going." Corbin Carroll spoke to reporters about the resiliency of the Diamondback through their recent rough patch. (📽️: @shoewizard59)
