With each coming off complete-game victories, Kansas City's Luke Hochevar and Arizona's Dan Haren are also searching for a third straight winning decision tonight in the finale of a three-game series between the Royals and Diamondbacks.

Hochevar has won both starts since being recalled from Triple-A Omaha, and recorded his first career complete game Friday against visiting Cincinnati.

Haren has stayed among the NL's ERA leaders for most of this season, but hasn't benefited as much as he should because of a struggling offense and bullpen.

The Diamondbacks were scoring an average of 2.7 runs through his first eight starts but have since averaged nearly 6.9 over his last five.

Haren will also try to improve to 8-0 in his last nine interleague starts and keep from losing one for the first time since 2006.

Mark Reynolds is batting .423 with three homers and nine RBIs over the last seven games for the D-Backs.
