PHOENIX, Ariz. (CBSMiami) — The Miami Marlins begin a three-game series in Arizona as the Diamondbacks sit comfortably in the NL’s top wild-card spot.
Marlins’ left-hander Adam Conley (7-7, 5.20 ERA) faces the D-backs ace Zack Greinke (17-6, 2.87 ERA) in the opening game Friday at Chase Field. Greinke hasn’t lost in nine career appearances vs the Marlins, going 5-0 with a 2.75 ERA.
The Marlins look to play spoiler as Arizona holds a 6-game lead over the Colorado Rockies in the wild-card race with nine games left in the season.
Greinke will have to contain Giancarlo Stanton and his league-leading 56 home runs.
