Diamondbacks looking to secure NL West title

Sep 26, 2007 - 1:13 PM Arizona (88-69) at Pittsburgh (67-90) 7:05 pm EDT

PITTSBURGH (Ticker) -- Closing in on the National League West Division title, the Arizona Diamondbacks continue a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

With five games left, Arizona holds a two-game lead over San Diego (86-71) in the division. Colorado is three games back.

Rookie Nyjer Morgan hit his first career home run as the Pirates snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 6-5 win in Tuesday's series opener.

Veteran righthander Livan Hernandez (11-10, 4.85 ERA) will get the start for Arizona, which is hoping to avoid a three-game losing streak. The 32-year-old Cuban hurled six innings, yielding three runs and 10 hits in a 12-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.

The Pirates will counter with Matt Morris (9-11, 5.02), who has struggled in September. The righthander posted a 1-3 record with a 10.80 ERA over four starts this month.
