<b>Set-up </b>
</p>
<p>
In their last game, the Braves lost to the Boston Red Sox 9-8 where they gave up eight of the nine runs in the previous two innings and gave up a two-out two-run HR in the top of the 9th inning. The Braves scored eight runs on 10 hits, and the Red Sox scored nine runs on 11 hits.
</p>
<p>
The Braves were swept by the Red Sox in their last series and have lost six of their previous eight games. However, with the Philadelphia Phillies also struggling as of late Atlanta still has a three-game lead over them in the NL East. The Braves gave up 22 runs in getting swept by the Red Sox in the three-game series.
</p>
<p>
In their last game, the Diamondbacks snapped their four-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over the San Diego Padres. The Diamondbacks scored six runs on nine hits, and the Padres were held scoreless and only had three hits.
</p>
<p>
Arizona has lost six of their last nine games, and their recent four-game skid was costly. They are now in 3rd place in the NL West two games back of the Colorado Rockies and are 2.5 games out of the 2nd NL Wild Card slot.
</p>
<p>
This season the Braves rank 9th in runs scored, and 8th in team ERA and the Diamondbacks rank tied for 17th in runs scored and 3rd in team ERA.

<h2>
MLB Head-To-Head Matchup<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Diamondbacks have won two of three games facing the Braves this season. That series was in Atlanta and was the last one before the All-Star break.
</p>
<h2>
Pitching Match-Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Atlanta:</b> Anibal Sanchez (6-5 2.98 ERA)<br />
<b>Arizona:</b> Zack Greinke (13-9 2.97 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Sanchez’s last start he was solid only giving up one earned run on five hits in five 1/3 innings, but got little support in a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Braves have lost his last three starts where he gave up five earned runs in 17 2/3 innings and was only backed by five runs of support. Sanchez has given up one earned run in each of his last two starts.
</p>
<p>
Sanchez’s last few starts were just like his lone one facing Arizona this season where he got little support in a 2-1 Atlanta loss even though he only gave up one earned run in six innings. The Braves have lost Sanchez’s last four starts against a team with a winning record.
</p>
<p>
In Greinke’s last start he gave up three earned runs on six hits in seven 1/3 innings in a 3-2 loss to the L.A. Dodgers. The Diamondbacks had won his previous two starts where he gave up three earned runs in 12 2/3 innings. Greinke has faced the Braves once this season and pitched a gem tossing seven 2/3 scoreless innings and only allowing four hits in a 4-0 Arizona win.
</p>
<p>
The Diamondbacks have won Greinke’s last four starts against the Braves. Arizona has won 24 of his last 34 home starts and is 35-17 in his previous 52 starts after a Quality Appearance in his previous outing.
