Arizona has started 9-4 in June. The team is winning close and late. (Josh Naylor hit a walk-off grand slam against Seattle and added another game-winning RBI against San Diego.) They’re winning games when they score. (The Diamondbacks have two 10-run games in June. Both victories.)

"And the Diamondbacks have one of the best prospects in baseball, Jordan Lawlar, who could immediately replace Suárez at the hot corner. Lawlar is tearing up Triple-A as he waits his turn, batting .324/.405/.583 with nine homers, 18 doubles, four triples and 16 steals," Bowden wrote.
