The Phillies will go for the series sweep vs. the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks today when they face off in Game Three of a weekend series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA. Fans can follow the action when the game gets underway at 2:05 p.m. EST.

After hitting a rough patch in April that saw them lose five in a row, the Phillies responded by closing the month with four consecutive wins. The streak ended with a 4-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on May 1, but they have since won two in a row against the D-backs, giving them six wins in their last seven games. Aaron Nola got his first win of the season after throwing six innings of shutout ball, giving up four hits and a walk while striking out eight. As for the Diamondbacks, with the loss to Philly yesterday, Arizona has lost seven of its last ten games. Ranger Suarez will come off the IL to start the game after dealing with a sore back for the last five weeks, his first appearance of the season. Arizona will give Eduardo Rodriguez the start. Rodriguez has a 1-3 record in six starts with a 6.06 ERA. He was hit hard in his last start (vs. Mets, April 29), giving up nine hits (three home runs) and eight runs in four innings.
