The Diamondbacks swept the Braves in their first series this season. However, the Braves won three of four in Arizona last year, hitting a combined eight home runs in the series.

The Braves were swept by the Dodgers early this week, getting outscored 23-7 in the series. They allowed six home runs over the last two games of the series -- the Braves had allowed a combined six home runs in their previous eight games.

Arizona beat Tampa Bay in 13 innings on Wednesday, 3-2, after blowing a 2-0 lead in the eighth inning. The Diamondbacks are now 5-9 when scoring three runs or fewer this season, tied with the Rays for the best record in MLB.

Mike Soroka hasn't allowed more than one earned run in any of his first four starts this season. He allowed just three hits and zero earned runs in seven innings of work in his last start against Miami while picking up his third straight win.

Christian Walker went 6-of-13 with two home runs in Arizona's first series against Atlanta. Through that series, Walker was slugging .683 with six homers. In the 16 games since then, he is slugging .477 with just one home run (April 22 at Pittsburgh).

David Peralta went 3-for-5 yesterday against Tampa Bay, his fourth three-hit game of the season. Since June 1 of last season, Peralta is hitting .312, fourth best in the National League (minimum 500 PA).

HP - Eddings, 1B - Miller, 2B - Drake, 3B - Segal

The Arizona Diamondbacks have won all four games this season against Atlanta, and their ability to hit against the Braves' bullpen is a big reason why.
When Arizona swept a three-game series in Atlanta in April, the Diamondbacks pounded Atlanta relievers for 11 runs on 14 hits and 10 walks in 10 innings.

D-backs look to feast again on Braves bullpen

PHOENIX (AP)  Ronald Acuna Jr. made an auspicious return to the leadoff spot Friday night, driving a career-best 466-foot homer to lift the Atlanta Braves past Arizona.
Acuna's tiebreaking shot off the batter's eye in center with two outs in the eighth inning helped the Braves end a four-game skid with a 2-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.
