Ted Lilly gets the start today for the Dodgers, hoping to buck a trend. In his last six starts, Lilly has given up four, zero, five, one, five, and two runs. Lilly has pitched six innings in each of his last three starts. Lilly has yet to give up a single to Chris Young in 18 career plate appearances, but Young is hitting .375/.444/1.000 off Lilly thanks to four doubles and two home runs. Melvin Mora has faced Lilly more than twice as much as any other Diamondback, and is just 3-for-31, but he does have 12 walks.
Former USC Trojan Ian Kennedy makes the start for Arizona today. Their opening day starter has pitched well this season, with a 3.23 ERA, 15 walks and 45 strikeouts in 53 innings. In his last four starts, all quality starts, Kennedy has allowed five total runs, and has a 1.47 ERA in 7.67 innings per outing, though he has just one win to show for it.
