The Arizona Diamondbacks will take on the San Diego Padres in the final game of their MLB series at home on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix. The Padres lead 2-1.

The Diamondbacks are 68-77 overall, and despite being on a good run of form, have lost their last two games to the Padres. They have slim hopes of making it to the playoffs this season. They sit 11.5 games behind the Padres in the National League West division. Arizona will look for a win to level their series with the Padres.

“Saturday shutout” – Padres

The Diamondbacks will start Ryne Nelson on the mound. He’s coming off the ranks of his minor league team and is a good prospect for the major leagues. This will be his third start of the season and second against the Padres. In his previous outing against the Padres, he registered a win, giving up no runs on four hits with seven Ks in seven IP. He’s a bright young talent.

The Padres, meanwhile, will start Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish in the final game of the series. He has an ERA of 3.16, a 0.95 WHIP, 175 K’s and a WL of 14-7. This will be his 28th start of the season and the fifth against the Diamondbacks.

In his last four outings against the Diamondbacks, he gave up seven runs on 14 hits, with 23 Ks in 26.0 IP. He loves to pitch against the Diamondbacks and will be eyeing his fourth win against them this season.

“Yu Darvish. That’s it. That’s the tweet.” – Padres
