Lineup vs.

- 2B Aaron Hill
- LF Jason Kubel
- 1B Paul Goldschmidt
- RF Justin Upton
- C Miguel Montero
- 3B Ryan Wheeler
- SS Jake Elmore
- SP Tyler Skaggs
Elmore, a recent callup who played in college at Arizona State, makes his eighth career start. He hasn't gotten a hit since Aug. 20 and has appeared in five games since going 2-for-4 on that day.
The Diamondbacks look to snap a three-game losing streak and stay alive in the hunt for a postseason spot. The road is difficult with Arizona already 6.5 games out of the Wild Card race going into tonight's game.
