The Arizona Diamondbacks might sit a distant second in the NL West but that has not stopped them from trying their best to catch the Los Angeles Dodgers. The D-backs enter a three-game set with the Dodgers on Monday riding a 10-game winning streak. During that winning streak, the D-backs swept the Dodgers in the desert.
D-backs starter Robbie Ray has relished his opportunities to pitch in hostile environments this season, with a 1.49 ERA in 11 road starts. That impressive play away from Chase Field has extended to Dodger Stadium, as the lefty has given up just two runs in two starts in La La Land. Ray’s most recent start came against the Dodgers, an outing that saw the southpaw allow one run with 10 strikeouts in 6.2 innings.
Rich Hill will be looking for redemption after getting beat up by the D-backs last week. The 37-year-old allowed eight hits and six runs before being pulled after just 3.2 innings last Tuesday. However, that was the first time Hill had allowed more than three earned runs in an outing since June 15.
