When: 7:10 p.m.
Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles.
Pitchers: Diamondbacks RHP Zack Greinke (1-0, 2.31) vs. Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw (1-1, 3.46).

Tonight’s scouting report
Through 10 games, the Dodgers own a .500 record. They took three of four from the San Diego Padres to open the season but lost consecutive three-game sets on the road to the Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs.
The Dodgers brought back very nearly the same team that advanced to the National League Championship Series a year ago:
- Their biggest offseason addition was 2B Logan Forsythe, whom they expected to help after a season of struggling to hit left-handed pitching. Forsythe has contributed in that regard – he’s hitting .353 (6 for 17) against lefties – but the Dodgers’ team-wide struggles in that area remain unchanged.
- In five games against left-handed starters, the Dodgers are 1-4. (The Diamondbacks will start LHP Patrick Corbin and LHP Robbie Ray in Games 2 and 4 of this series.)
- 3B Justin Turner is 11 for 31 (.355) with five doubles
- RF Yasiel Puig already has three homers and two doubles
- SS Corey Seager is 11 for 39 (.282) with four doubles and a pair of home runs.
The Dodgers’ pitching has been terrific in the early going. They have a 2.80 ERA as a team. A year after leading the NL in bullpen ERA at 3.35, the Dodgers’ relievers own a 1.34 ERA, which ranks second to the Cincinnati Reds (1.13).
Sticker Shock:Diamondbacks-Dodgers pitching matchup is incredibly expensive
Greinke was excellent in his most recent start, giving up one run in 6 2/3 innings against the Indians, walking none and striking out six. … He’s given up just three runs in 11 2/3 innings so far this season. … His fastball velocity is averaging 91.2 mph, which is about a 1.1 mph drop from last season, relatively minor compared to what he was exhibiting during spring training. … Kershaw gave up four runs in six innings against the Rockies on Friday, giving up three home runs. It was just the third time in his career he’d allowed three home runs in a game and the first since 2013. … He owns a 2.75 ERA in 24 career starts against the Diamondbacks, a little above his career ERA of 2.38. … He faced them just once last season, giving up two runs in 7 1/3 innings with one walk and 11 strikeouts in a start at Chase Field in June.
