Having continued success at the plate tonight should be considerably more difficult for the Florida Marlins with Dan Haren on the mound.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will try to bounce back from a late-inning collapse by handing the ball to the dominant Haren, while the visiting Marlins will be looking for a fifth consecutive win from red-hot Ricky Nolasco.

The Marlins sent 14 batters to the plate while scoring a franchise-record 10 runs in the eighth inning, helping turn an early 7-0 deficit into a 14-7 win on Thursday.

The Marlins could have difficulty sustaining the momentum of their comeback against Haren, who owns the lowest ERA of any NL starter and lowest opponent batting average of any pitcher in the majors.

The Diamondbacks, meanwhile, could have their hands full with Nolasco, who is 4-0 with a 2.12 in his career against Arizona.
