The Braves are on fire right now, scoring 23 runs in the last two games against the Mets. Now they know they can score and their motivated to come back home with an winning % above 50. Tonight's matchups marks a great chance on starting the right way, as the Dbacks will go with Josh Collmenter on the mound, whose ERA is 12.86 in two starts, so the Braves hitters must be more than welcoming him to the mound awaiting to test his throwing arm. Collmenter started two games against the Braves last year, going 1-1 with a 0.69 ERA, but reports say he isn't moving all that well so far this season.
Mike Minor (1-1, 4.38) will make his first start against Arizona, but was very good on his last outing, beating Milwaukee with just an unearned run and two hits allowed in over 7 1-3 innings.
The Diamondbacks will miss CF Chris Young, who was hitting .410 with five homers and 13 RBIs, now in the DL, so Arizona will have to play a different game than they're used to. They've dropped four of six, after starting the season 5-1.
