Diamondbacks take on the Angels in series rubber match
Eduardo Rodriguez and Samuel Aldegheri are the probable starters as Arizona seeks a home win and Los Angeles tries to split the series.
On Wednesday, June 17, 2026, the Arizona Diamondbacks faced the Los Angeles Angels at Chase Field in the series finale with the teams tied 1-1; Arizona held a 37-36 record.
LHP Eduardo Rodriguez started for Arizona against Angels LHP Sam Aldegheri as the Diamondbacks sought offensive production after being shut out four times since June 3.
Manager Torey Lovullo addressed the team's inconsistency, noting he strategically times when to challenge players. "I can't be emotional and say the things I want to say every single day," he said.
Following Wednesday's finale, the Diamondbacks host the Twins for a three-game series starting Friday, June 19, with Diamondbacks RHP Michael Soroka facing Twins LHP Connor Prielipp.
Injuries continue to impact both clubs, with multiple players on the 60-Day IL; Arizona lists Corbin Burnes, Cristian Mena, and A.J. Puk, while the Angels have Travis d'Arnaud sidelined.
