Diamondbacks Vs. Dodgers Game Preview: David Price Opens Final Home Stand Before All-Star Break
After going 5-3 on their East Coast road trip, the Los Angeles Dodgers return home for the start of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers improved to 54-34 with Thursday’s win over the Miami Marlins and trail the first-place San Francisco Giants by only one game in the National League West standings. The Diamondbacks, meanwhile, own baseball’s worst record at 25-64.
L.A. is a perfect 7-0 against Arizona this season and looks to make it eight in a row when they send David Price to the mound in Friday’s opener. Clayton Kershaw initially was scheduled to start but those plans changed when he was placed on the 10-day injured list with left forearm inflammation.
