Arizona: Zack Greinke (6-3, 3.24 ERA)<br />
Miami: Jeff Locke (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Zack Greinke goes for the Diamondbacks in the first game of this series tonight and he was not sharp in his last start giving up five earned runs in five innings in a 6-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Arizona had won his previous four starts where he totaled 29 innings and gave up eight earned runs. In eight career starts against the Marlins Greinke is 4-0 with an ERA of 2.96.

He is also making his debut for the Marlins, who he signed with to a one-year deal in the off-season. In four rehab appearances Locke has fared well with an ERA of 1.77, but in his career he has not had much success against the Diamondbacks going 1-2 with an ERA of 6.57.
