The Diamondbacks won Friday's opener 4-3, and Los Angeles answered Saturday with a 2-1 win in ten innings that snapped a seven-game losing streak, so this finale arrives with the Dodgers still searching for the form that usually carries this roster. Eduardo Rodriguez takes the mound for Arizona sitting at 10-4 with a 2.71 ERA, and he's already beaten this Los Angeles lineup twice this season, going six innings both times and allowing three total runs across those two starts. His last time out was rough, seven runs allowed against San Diego, but nothing about that outing changes what he's done against this specific opponent. Justin Wrobleski starts for the Dodgers on the wrong end of his own recent trend, four home runs allowed in each of his last two outings. Arizona's bullpen has been the best in baseball since May 1, a 1.99 ERA over that stretch with opponents hitting .173 against it, exactly the kind of relief group built to protect a one-run lead late. Back Arizona this afternoon.
