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

Arizona<\/a> was scheduled to send the resurgent Merrill Kelly<\/a> 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<\/a> in a 6-2 win over the Giants.<\/p>\n

The Diamondbacks return home to face the champion Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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

The Diamondbacks-Dodgers series features Korean Heritage Night (June 1), Japanese Heritage Night (June 3) and Mexican Heritage Night (June 4).<\/p>\n

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

The first game of the series, Friday night, June 5, is the Diamondbacks’ annual Pride Night.<\/p>\n
