Diamondbacks Begin Challenging Road Trip

The Arizona Diamondbacks will kick off their road trip with a brutal challenge. They'll travel to Milwaukee to face the MLB-leading Brewers for a four-game series.

The D-backs sit at 64-67 after back-to-back intense series wins against the Guardians and Reds, but will see an entirely different type of opponent Monday.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs Milwaukee Brewers Pitching Matchup

LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (5.40 ERA) vs RHP Brandon Woodruff (2.47 ERA)

Eduardo Rodriguez has looked much better in terms of command and length in his past two starts. He gave up four runs in 6.2 innings his last time out, but is just one start removed from seven innings of one-run baseball.

Rodriguez has certainly not had the season he or the D-backs were hoping for. For both his and Arizona's sake, any amount of consistency will be welcomed.

Woodruff, meanwhile, has had an excellent short season since returning from shoulder surgery earlier in 2025. He's pitched to a 2.47 ERA and 2.43 expected ERA, while striking out north of 11 batters per nine.

He's been cut short in his two recent starts, failing to complete the fifth inning, but still has a 2.95 ERA for the month of August.

Woodruff throws a deep arsenal, containing a lower-90s four-seam and sinker. He also has a changeup, cutter, curveball and sweeper.

The four-seam, sinker and changeup have all been hit well below .200. The changeup has been hit .029 by opposing batters. The curveball and sweeper have been hammered, but he rarely goes to them. This will be a tough matchup for the D-backs.
