Torey Lovullo turns to the opener strategy once more against the best lineup in the National League. Alek Thomas and Gabriel Moreno return from the injured list.
The Arizona Diamondbacks take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Chavez Ravine tonight at 7:10 P.M. The D-backs are in third place in the NL West with a 41-43 record, 10.5 games back of the 52-33 Dodgers.
The Dodgers are without Mookie Betts, who is out with a fractured hand, but still have Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, and Teoscar Hernandez all mashing. The D-backs have had success using the opener strategy against the Dodgers before however. On May 22nd of this year Nelson came in behind opener Brandon Hughes with two outs in the first inning. He recorded 15 outs without giving up a run. He allowed five hits, three walks, and struck out five.
It's all added up to 1.59 ERA and 1.059 WHIP in 17 innings against the frequently fearsome Dodgers lineup. Nelson will hope to duplicate that success and keep the momentum going for the D-backs.
