The Diamondbacks, having dramatically improved their fortunes via scheduling bonuses (the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants), finish their road trip in Seattle with a 1:05 p.m. matchup Sunday, May 31, against the Mariners.

Arizona was scheduled to send the resurgent Merrill Kelly to the mound, while the Mariners had yet to name a starter late in the week. Kelly went seven innings in his most recent start, allowing only two runs on four hits over seven innings at San Francisco in a 6-2 win over the Giants.

The Diamondbacks return home to face the champion Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time since they were swept in three games to open this season. Game 1 of the four-game series set for 6:40 p.m. at Chase Field.

The Dodgers have enjoyed another hot start, winning 35 of their first 55 games, with a breakout early season from outfielder Andy Pages. The 25-year-old Cuban led the team in hits and led the majors in RBIs entering the weekend.

The Diamondbacks-Dodgers series features Korean Heritage Night (June 1), Japanese Heritage Night (June 3) and Mexican Heritage Night (June 4).

Next into town are the surprising Washington Nationals, who were a game over .500 entering their weekend series against the San Diego Padres. James Wood, Daylen Lile and CJ Abrams lead the offense, which has more than made up for a relatively pedestrian pitching staff ranking near the bottom of MLB in ERA.

The first game of the series, Friday night, June 5, is the Diamondbacks’ annual Pride Night.
