First-place Diamondbacks host Padres

Aug 20, 2008 - 11:02 PM San Diego (48-57) at Arizona (65-50) 9:40 p.m. EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- Back in first place, the Arizona Diamondbacks will look to stay there when a pair of the National League's best pitchers face off on Wednesday.

Off Tuesday's dramatic 7-6 win, the Diamondbacks are now looking to move six games over .500 for the first time since June 13.

Dan Haren (13-6, 2.96) gets the start for the division leaders. The righthander faces the Padres for the fourth time. He is 2-1 with a 2.14 ERA, but lost his last home start against the Padres on July 4.

Haren allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings, but came up on the short end of a 5-1 score.

The Padres counter with ace Jake Peavy (9-8, 2.61). The righthander pitched seven shutout innings against the Diamondbacks on July 5, surrendering three hits and two walks, striking out six.

In 134 2/3 innings, the 27-year old has 133 strikeouts and 41 walks.

Arizona holds a one-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
