Brandon Hughes starts for Arizona as their opener against Cy Young contender Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers.
The Arizona Diamondbacks are back at Dodger Stadium to take on their rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers in the series finale. The D-backs could win their first series against the Dodgers this year with a win tonight.
There was a roster transaction today with the D-backs recalling left-handed pitcher Brandon Hughes from Triple-A Reno. To make room on the active roster, they optioned out starting pitcher Slade Cecconi.Hughes is set to start tonight's game as the opener for the D-backs. He will pitch the first inning and hopefully get out superstars Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman, who are both left-handed hitters.
Behind Hughes will be Ryne Nelson, the embattled starter that has been struggling of late. The D-backs are hopeful that with Nelson avoiding the top of the order, he can pitch more effectively and deeper into the game with only facing them twice or even once. For the Dodgers, Cy Young contender Tyler Glasnow is on the bump. The D-backs hitters will have their hands full trying to hit against him. On the season, the 30-year-old is 6-2 with a 2.90 ERA over 62 innings and 10 games started. He has a 2.56 FIP and 141 ERA+.
Joc Pederson is looking to stay hot at his former home ballpark. Joc had three RBI and a homer to go with a single against the Dodgers last night. His blast was what ultimately secured the win for Arizona.
