After finally collecting a much needed series win over the Giants to begin the homestand, the Diamondbacks took on the hated Dodgers for three games at Chase Field.
Remember when the Arizona Diamondbacks were still in the hunt for the West division title thanks to a 13-11 record in July?
On August 23rd, the Diamondbacks were just 5 games back in the N.L. West after the Houston Astros swept the Dodgers, and the Diamondbacks beat the Reds 4-0 to complete a four game sweep. With the Giants and Dodgers struggling, suddenly the D-backs were in the middle of a four team pennant race.
