The Diamondbacks enter Sunday's matchup with a 39-36 overall record and an excellent 24-15 mark at home. Arizona has won four of its last five games and comes into this contest after a 9-5 victory over Minnesota. The Diamondbacks also recently defeated the Angels by scores of 8-1 and 4-3 while earning a 5-3 victory over Cincinnati. Their only loss during this stretch came against Los Angeles.
