What happened: The San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks begin a three-game NL West series at Chase Field, carried on MLB Network. First pitch is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. PT. The matchup pits two clubs sitting below .500 in the division standings.

Head-to-head results in this rivalry have shaped both clubs' positioning all season.

The Diamondbacks took each of the past five meetings between the clubs this season, including 3-2, 7-5 and 6-2 wins in late May and a pair of victories on May 19-20. Arizona's largest win in that span came 12-2 over the Giants on May 18.

What to watch: Watch which staff sets the tone early in the opener and whether San Francisco can break Arizona's recent run of head-to-head wins as the three-game set unfolds.
