The Arizona Diamondbacks have lost three in a row and now find themselves one game back of the Dodgers for the NL West lead. Tonight they should be able to right the ship because the San Diego Padres come to town. The Friars have not fared well against the Snakes, going 1-6 in the last 7 meetings, and they are 0-5 in their last 5 road games. San Diego will send Bryan Mitchell to the hill and he has yet to notch a victory. Mitchell is 0-3, with a 7.08 ERA, and a 2.03 WHIP. Arizona will have Zack Godley tapping the rubber. Godley is 14-7, with a 4.42 ERA, a 1.40 WHIP, and he is 2-0 this year against the Padres. The Diamondbacks need to win this game and they know it.
