Facing off against the Arizona Diamondbacks (52-38, topping the NL West), the Pittsburgh Pirates (40-49, occupying the fourth position in the NL Central) hope to arrest a four-game downturn.

The game is slated for 4:10 p.m. EDT on Sunday in Phoenix.

PROJECTED PITCHERS: The Pirates look to Carmen Mlodzinski (1-1, with an ERA of 2.61 and a WHIP of 1.07, eight strikeouts) to lead them on the mound. In contrast, the Diamondbacks will be putting their faith in Zach Davies (1-4, with an ERA of 6.52 and a WHIP of 1.57, 39 strikeouts).

ADDITIONAL UPDATES:
Diamondbacks’ Carroll secured the winning run in the 10th, resulting in a 3-2 victory over the Pirates. Carroll rejoined the Arizona lineup after a brief absence due to shoulder discomfort. Despite Lindor’s homers and doubles enabling the Mets to triumph over the Diamondbacks 9-0 for their fifth consecutive win, the Diamondbacks’ All-Star Carroll injured his right arm in a swing against the Mets.
