The Arizona Diamondbacks prepare for a three-city, nine-game road trip starting with a series against the Toronto Blue Jays, following their recent performance against the San Diego Padres. Merrill Kelly is set to pitch for the Diamondbacks, looking to secure his seventh win of the season. Despite being swept in their last matchup against the Blue Jays in July 2023, the Diamondbacks have fared well against the Colorado Rockies, boasting a 21-8 record since the season's start. The Blue Jays, currently in second place in the AL East, have also been on a hot streak, winning seven of their last eight games.

Key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, and George Springer highlight the Blue Jays' lineup, along with reliable catcher Alejandro Kirk. Following their stand in Toronto, the Diamondbacks will head to Colorado for another series against the struggling Rockies. With their recent success, particularly a sweep against the Seattle Mariners, the Diamondbacks are aiming to capitalize on their momentum as they venture into this challenging road stretch.
