Diamondbacks Lineup

1. 1B Pavin Smith
2. 3B Asdrúbal Cabrera
3. RF Josh Rojas
4. LF David Peralta
5. C Carson Kelly
6. 2B Josh VanMeter
7. SS Nick Ahmed
8. CF Daulton Varsho
9. LHP Madison Bumgarner (2021 season stats: 5.58 ERA, 4.02 FIP, 25.0 K%, 43.4 HardHit% in 30.2 IP)

Baseball Savant

Notes: Arizona’s team leader in home runs, runs scored and plate appearances, Eduardo Escobar, is getting a rare day off...The D-backs are somewhat of a jekyll-and-hyde offense. They entered last night with the most runs scored in the majors, but have been shut out four times.

Marlins Lineup

1. SS Miguel Rojas
2. 1B Jesús Aguilar
3. RF Garrett Cooper
4. LF Adam Duvall
5. 3B Brian Anderson
6. CF Lewis Brinson
7. C Chad Wallach
8. 2B Jon Berti
9. RHP Pablo López (2021 season stats: 2.34 ERA, 3.13 FIP, 24.8 K%, 30.1 HardHit% in 34.2 IP)

Baseball Savant

Notes: Despite his excellent individual performance, López is one start away from matching the longest winless drought of his career (seven starts)...With three hits tonight, Miguel Rojas can pass former teammate Dee Strange-Gordon for 19th place on the all-time Marlins hits list...The well-rested pitchers available out of the Marlins bullpen (haven’t pitched in at least two days) are Anthony Bass Richard Bleier, Dylan Floro and Yimi García.
