Probable Pitchers

Diamondbacks left-hander Kyle Nelson (1-0, 2.04) will make his first major league start in what will be a bullpen game for Arizona and faces Phillies lefty Ranger Suarez (4-3, 4.42). Suarez will be pitching on four days of rest.

Nelson vs Suarez

Nelson has made 30 relief appearances in the big leagues during his three-year career. He started only once in 123 minor league games.

Nelson made a brief appearance against the Phillies on Friday night. He retired the only batter he faced on two pitches. It was the first time he had ever pitched against Philadelphia.

On the road, Nelson has a 3.52 ERA in nine games this season. His ERA in the day is 2.61 over 10 appearances.

Suarez is 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA in his last four game but pitched well Tuesday in a no-decision against the Brewers in Milwaukee. He gave up two runs on six hits in seven innings with five strikeouts and no walks.

Suarez is 1-2 with a 6.46 ERA against the Diamondbacks in five career games (two starts).

This will be Suarez’s first start in the day this season after taking 11 rotation turns at night, reminiscent of the ‘80s hair band Night Ranger. At home, he has a 1-2 record and 5.26 ERA in six starts.

Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (strained left oblique) was activated from the injured list Saturday after being out since May 5. He hit some balls hard during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno.
