Left-hander Randy Wolf and the worn-out Los Angeles Dodgers (15-10) return home to take on righty Brandon Webb and the Arizona Diamondbacks (15-11) at 10:10pm ET tonight. Good thing it's a night game, cause the Dodgers just got done playing the longest game recorded this season - a 17-inning, 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Six Dodgers each had two of the team's season-high 16 hits yesterday, coming into today's contest with a strong 6-1 record in their last seven home games against the D'Backs.
Arizona, coming off a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants, is looking to match its season-high six game winning streak with a rare road win against LA.
Watch out for second baseman Orlando Hudson, who has reached base in all 29 games thus far and is hitting a career .370 against the Dodgers.

The Texas Rangers (10-14) will put right-hander Vicente Padilla on the hill to face righty Roy Halladay, who is looking to start the season at 4-0 for the first time in his career, for the Toronto Blue Jays (12-12) at 7:07pm ET this evening.
Halladay, the 2003 Cy Young Award winner, is coming off a win against the Boston Red Sox in which he fanned a season-high ten batters. He is 4-4 with a 5.67 ERA in 13 career starts against the Rangers, while their third baseman Hank Blalock is batting .391 with two homers and two doubles against him.
The Blue Jays are hoping for a split series tonight against the struggling Padilla. Te Rangers have lost all five games he has started and have scored just nine runs behind him.
Padilla is 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in four road starts, posting a 3.29 ERA in his only two career (winning) starts versus Toronto last July.
