The Arizona Diamondbacks took a 7-6 loss here at Petco Park Saturday after blowing leads of 3-0 and 5-3. Their lead over Colorado at the top of the National League West is now just a half-game, and I think a motivated D'Backs team will bounce back in a big way here Sunday afternoon.

Arizona right-hander Zack Greinke (12-8, 3.00 ERA) is 11-2 behind a 2.10 ERA in 21 career starts against the Padres and he's been hot lately. Over his last 11 starts since June 18, Greinke is 7-3 with a 1.99 ERA.

The Friars turn to Brett Kennedy (0-2, 11.00 ERA) who has lost both his major league starts while giving up a total of 11 runs and 20 hits through nine innings of work.

Padres are 5-21 in their last 26 home games. Diamondbacks are 7-1 in their last 8 games following a loss and 8-1 in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

8* play on Arizona Diamondbacks.
