Arizona @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( Sep 6, 2014 ) Arizona 2, LA Dodgers 5

Zack Greinke has dominated Arizona hitters this season and the Los Angeles hurler will try to do so again when the Dodgers close a four-game set against the visiting Diamondbacks on Sunday. Greinke is 2-0 with a 0.93 ERA in three starts against Arizona this season and has 22 strikeouts against just four walks in 19 1/3 innings. Arizona starter Trevor Cahill has struggled against the Dodgers this season, going 0-3 with a 9.98 ERA in five appearances (three starts).

Los Angeles, which leads San Francisco by two games in the National League West, struck for three eighth-inning runs to post a 5-2 victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Dee Gordon delivered the tiebreaking single, Hanley Ramirez followed with a two-run double and Adrian Gonzalez contributed a two-run homer as the Dodgers improved to 14-4 against Arizona this season. The Diamondbacks have lost eight of their last 12 games and have scored two or fewer runs in each of their last six defeats.
