The Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks are getting set for the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at Chase Field.

The Diamondbacks took Friday's series opener, 4-3, in walk-off, come-from-behind fashion. The Diamondbacks then nearly walked off LA again on Saturday by tying the game in the ninth inning, by LA won in 10 innings by a score of 2-1.

“Offensively, we just got to get going," manager Dave Roberts said after Saturday's game. "It’s hard to win games when your margin is a razor’s edge. So, it’s not like guys aren’t trying, but it’s a tough way to pitch and have to be perfect.”

Saturday's win ended the Dodgers' seven-game losing streak and evened up the season series between the two teams at six games apiece. Sunday's game will ultimately decide it.

The Dodgers currently have an 8.5-game lead over the Diamondbacks in the National League West. The Diamondbacks hold the second wild-card spot in the NL.
