Arizona heads home with their backs to the wall, but this is a young, hungry team that plays hard for manager Kirk Gibson. They've been a great home team all season (51-30) and face a Milwaukee team that was awesome at home, but bad on the road (39-42). They are built for their home park. The Brewers are 2-5 in Sean Marcum's last seven starts, and 2-7 in his last nine starts vs. a team with a winning record. Arizona has a strong offense, No. 9 in baseball in runs scored and No. 8 in slugging and Marcum has an ERA of 6.00 against the Diamondbacks this season. Arizona turns to Josh Collmenter (3.38 ERA), who has had a great season and is working on six days of rest. He's 9-4 with a 3.30 ERA at home where opponents hit .220 off him. The Diamondbacks are 14-4 in their last 18 home games against a team with a losing road record and 4-1 in Collmenters last five home starts. The Diamondbacks are also 41-20 in their last 61 home games. Play on the Diamondbacks in Game 3.
