New York @ Arizona preview

Last Meeting ( May 17, 2016 ) NY Yankees 3, Arizona 5

The Arizona Diamondbacks have been abysmal at home this season, but having the New York Yankees in town has sparked a sudden turnaround. Arizona has won the first two games of its three-game set with the Yankees and looks to complete its first home series sweep of the season on Wednesday.

Arizona is just 7-16 at Chase Field and entered the series with seven consecutive home losses before combining for 17 runs and 25 hits in the first two contests. Jake Lamb is 4-for-8 with two homers and five RBIs in the series, while Jean Segura and Nick Ahmed both are 4-for-9. New York's Mark Teixeira, who struck out three times in four hitless at-bats on Tuesday, has gone 29 games without a homer and hasn't driven in a run since May 1. The consecutive losses at the beginning of a seven-game trip continue the Yankees' season-long road woes - their 4-12 record is better than that of only Minnesota (4-18) and Cincinnati (3-14).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Yankees RH Nathan Eovaldi (3-2, 4.85 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Shelby Miller (1-4, 6.94)

Eovaldi has won his last three decisions, including a victory over Kansas City in his last outing. He has allowed just five runs in his three wins and has given up 18 in his other four outings. Eovaldi is 2-0 with a 3.08 ERA in seven career appearances (four starts) against Arizona and has handled Paul Goldschmidt (2-for-10, four strikeouts) while struggling against Rickie Weeks (2-for-7, two homers).

Miller has been a major disappointment and has pitched five or fewer innings on five occasions. He has experienced major control issues, walking 23 batters in 35 frames while also serving up eight homers. Miller lost his lone career start against the Yankees as he gave up a career-high seven earned runs to go with nine hits in five innings on May 28, 2014 while with St. Louis.

1. Diamondbacks RHP Brad Ziegler notched his eighth save on Tuesday and has converted 36 straight opportunities since last blowing one on May 27, 2015.
