| Phoenix, AZ (MySportsbook) - The Arizona Diamondbacks optioned left-handed pitcher Doug Slaten to Triple-A Tucson on Sunday and recalled right-hander Billy Buckner. Buckner was optioned to Tucson when Slaten was activated from the disabled list on August 13. Slaten is 0-3 with a 4.30 earned run average in 38 appearances this season. Buckner, in his first year in the Diamondbacks organization, is 1-0 with a 4.00 ERA in nine innings over six games. It is his third stint with the team this season. |

| (MySportsbook) - The Arizona Diamondbacks will attempt to conclude what's been a successful homestand thus far on another positive note, as the National League West front-runners aim for a second straight win over the Florida Marlins this afternoon. Arizona was able to pad its lead atop the division to three games over second- place Los Angeles with Saturday's 7-1 triumph over the Marlins, the Diamondbacks' ninth victory in their last 12 contests. The Dodgers were beaten by Philadelphia for a second straight tim |

Russell Martin clubbed a two-run homer for Los Angeles, which has dropped four of its last five games. The Dodgers are three games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for first place in the NL West. Clayton Kershaw (2-4), the youngest player in the majors, was saddled with the loss after he gave up six runs on seven hits in four-plus innings of work.

| (MySportsbook) - The Florida Marlins have put themselves into contention in the National League East partly because of their success against the Arizona Diamondbacks this season. The surprising young club aims for another much- needed victory over Arizona when the two teams get together again tonight at Chase Field. The Marlins rallied for a pair of eighth-inning runs to come through with a 5-4 decision over the Diamondbacks in Friday's opener of this three-game series. The win was Florida's sixth in seven 2008 |

Hernandez, who won 10 times in 23 starts with the Twins, was an 11-game winner in the NL just last season, when he again went to the playoffs with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He will be opposed by stumbling former ace Aaron Harang, who won 16 games in both 2006 and 2007 for the Reds but has fallen to just three victories in 22 appearances - 21 starts - so far in 2008.

| (MySportsbook) - Both Anibal Sanchez and his Florida Marlin teammates would love to see history repeat itself in tonight's opener of a key three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Sanchez's only career start against Arizona was a most memorable occasion for the now 24-year-old pitcher. He threw the fourth no-hitter in Marlins' history during a 6-0 win over the Diamondbacks in Miami on September 6, 2006. A rookie at the time, Sanchez went on to finish the 2006 campaign with a 10-3 record an |

The Dodgers currently stand two games behind the NL-West leading Arizona Diamondbacks, who won 4-1 behind Brandon Webb's big-league best 19th victory against San Diego. Jorge De La Rosa (6-7) was nearly as effective as Lowe, allowing two runs -- just one earned -- on four hits and two walks but was credited with the loss. Clint Barme |

| Phoenix, AZ (MySportsbook) - Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer and walked twice, as the Arizona Diamondbacks held on for an 8-6 win over San Diego, in the second of three games with the Padres. The game was expected to be a pitchers' battle between Arizona's Dan Haren, who came into the game with a 2.96 earned run average, and San Diego ace Jake Peavy, who won the 2007 NL Cy Young Award and carried a 2.61 ERA into the contest. Instead, Haren (14-6) got enough run support to take the win, after allowing five runs o |

Matt Kemp registered an RBI and a run scored in the loss. Hiroki Kuroda (7-9), who started and yielded four runs on six hits over six innings, suffered the loss.
