PHILADELPHIA -- Two hot pitchers will square off when the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies continue their four-game series on Saturday afternoon in Citizens Bank Park.
Arizona right-hander Zack Greinke (9-3, 3.75 ERA) has won his last six starts and Phillies right-hander Jerad Eickhoff (4-8, 3.40) his last two.
Greinke signed a six-year, $206.5 million contract with the Diamondbacks in the offseason after spending the three previous years with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He lost his first two starts this year, however, to Colorado and the Chicago Cubs, and through five starts allowed 21 earned runs in 30 2/3 innings for a 6.
