Dodgers aim to exact another measure of revenge vs. D-backs

The Los Angeles Dodgers were swept in the 2023 postseason by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who went on to compete in the World Series.

In the teams’ first meeting since the postseason, the Dodgers won the opener of a three-game series, 8-4, on Monday in Phoenix. Los Angeles will look to make it two straight wins over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

D-backs’ Eugenio Suarez looks to get the better of Mariners in rematch

Third baseman Eugenio Suarez was beloved in his two seasons in Seattle.

Cards look to ride rare offensive breakthrough vs. D-backs

Diamondbacks’ Brandon Pfaadt bids for redemption vs. Cards

Brandon Pfaadt’s first career start against the St. Louis Cardinals did not go well.

Cubs’ Michael Busch in pursuit of record book vs. Diamondbacks
