Monday and Tuesday 9:40, Wednesday 3:40
Chase Field - Phoenix, AZ
Phillies 45-67, 4th Place in the N.L. East, 14 1/2 games behind the Mets
Diamondbacks 54-56, 3rd Place in the N.L. West, 7 1/2 games behind the Dodgers
Phillies Probables: Aaron Harang (5-12, 4.11), David Buchanan (2-6, 7.23), Aaron Nola (2-1, 3.65)
Diamondbacks Probables: Rubby De La Rosa (9-5, 4.56), Jeremy Hellickson (7-8, 5.06), Chase Anderson (5-4, 4.10)
At the Ballpark: Out of all the teams the Phillies have played this season, the Diamondbacks appear to have the least amount of promotions and giveaways. There's nothing scheduled for this series and their next giveaway overall is a Diamondbacks beer stein to be given to the first 10,000 fans on September 12th.

1985 Topps #117 |

1985 Topps Appreciation: Greg Gross may not seem like a natural selection to be featured in the Diamondbacks series preview post but he does have an Arizona connection. Gross was relieved of his hitting coach duties following the 2012 season and was hired shortly thereafter to serve as the hitting coach for the Reno Aces, the Diamondbacks Triple-A affiliate. And now you know.
