Arizona @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( Jun 11, 2013 ) Arizona 3, LA Dodgers 5

Patrick Corbin looks to become the majors’ first 10-game winner on Wednesday when the Arizona Diamondbacks play the rubber game of a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams figure to be warned before the game after five players were hit and the benches cleared during Tuesday’s contest. The Dodgers rallied for a 5-3 victory, snapping a five-game losing streak against the Diamondbacks.

With six ejections and emotions riding high, it was easy to overlook Kenley Jansen’s work in the ninth inning as the Dodgers’ new closer. Manager Don Mattingly removed Brandon League from the role after the 30-year-old right-hander blew his fourth save in Monday’s series opener. Jansen struck out two of the three batters he faced Tuesday for his third save.

Corbin, who is seeking to record the first 10-0 start in club history, allowed one run in 7 1/3 innings last Friday against the Giants. He’s given up eight runs combined in his last three outings, and the Diamondbacks are unbeaten in his 13 starts this season. The 23-year-old lefty owns a 1.33 ERA in four career games (three starts) against the Dodgers, and he threw six scoreless innings against Los Angeles on April 12.

Ryu has gone 3-0 with a 1.51 ERA in four starts since May 11, and he held the Braves to one run over 7 2/3 innings last Friday. He’s pitched six or more innings in 11 of his 12 starts, and he’s 4-1 with a 1.50 ERA in his six home starts. Ryu made his only start against the Diamondbacks on April 13, allowing three runs with nine strikeouts over six innings.
