"I think that if I'm seeing a certain comfort level or results that are very positive, if it lines up, I will continue to do that," Lovullo said of pairing Greinke with Mathis. "I'm not going to have guys bend over backwards or changing routines or their patterns just to have the matchups. If it works and it lines up, we're far enough out in front of putting lineups together that we're going to stay with that. I think Zack knows and understands that it's not going to be like that all year long."

During their season-opening homestand the D-backs scored six or more runs in five of the seven games.
