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.

The Arizona Diamondbacks battle the Pittsburgh Pirates in the final game of their 3-game series Sunday afternoon at PNC Park.
