Diamondbacks Begin Tough Challenge vs Dodgers

The Diamondbacks are on the road, facing the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium. It will be the first time Arizona will face LA on the road since the 2023 National League Division Series. First pitch is at 7:10 PM Arizona time. Manager Torey Lovullo, rather than throwing right-hander Slade Cecconi right into the fire, is opting to begin with an opener in left-handed veteran reliever Joe Mantiply.
