San Diego @ Arizona preview

Last Meeting ( Jul 5, 2016 ) San Diego 5, Arizona 7

The Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres both are 10 or more games below .500 and nonfactors in the National League West, but each team has an All-Star first baseman. Arizona slugger Paul Goldschmidt and San Diego's Wil Myers look to follow up strong outings when the teams complete their three-game series in Arizona with the rubber match on Wednesday.

Goldschmidt, who recorded two RBIs in Arizona's 7-5 victory on Tuesday, is headed to his fourth consecutive All-Star Game while Myers is making his first appearance. "I've only put together one-half season - I know I've got a lot of work to do," Myers said before going 4-for-5 in Tuesday's loss. "But I do know what I'm capable of doing. This half of a season I've put up is something I know I'm very capable of doing when I'm healthy." Myers leads the Padres in homers (19) and RBIs (58) during his breakthrough season while Goldschmidt has overcome a slow start to post 15 blasts and 58 RBIs - second on the team in each category behind Jake Lamb (19 HRs, 59 RBIs). Lamb, who is 10-for-25 with four homers during his seven-game hitting streak, is one of the five players named to the Final Vote balloting for the last NL All-Star roster spot.
