Overview

• Arizona has taken the first two games in Los Angeles, winning 3-0 and 6-1 while holding the Dodgers to nine hits.
• Sunday’s scheduled starters are Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (12-8, 5.24 ERA) and Dodgers right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (11-8, 2.90).
• Pfaadt enters off a six-run outing over 2 2/3 innings in Milwaukee and has fared worse on the road than at home this season.
• Yamamoto has delivered frontline production since arriving in MLB, including a 2.94 career ERA with 262 strikeouts and a 2.59 ERA in four starts against Arizona.
• Corbin Carroll’s seventh-inning homer and Ildemaro Vargas’ three-run shot in the ninth decided Saturday’s game as manager Dave Roberts called for greater urgency from his slumping lineup.
