DODGERS vs DIAMONDBACKS Live Stream Online & Listen: Live Coverage from LOS ANGELES

Tonight at 10:10 p.m. ET the Arizona Diamondbacks (4-14), losers of six straight games, will be trying to avert abject disaster beginning tonight when they head to Los Angeles for a three-game series vs. the NL West-leading Dodgers (10-6). Live stream the game here by clicking this link; D-Backs fans can find the game on 98.7 FM, while Dodgers fans can tune in to the radio broadcast on 570 Fox Sports LA. Wade Miley (2-2, 5.04 ERA) will pitch for Arizona against Zack Greinke (3-0, 2.76 ERA).

Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt must be supremely frustrated with the D-Backs' inability to win despite his hot start.

"Obviously, these last couple of weeks, it hasn't gone our way as a whole," Goldschmidt said. "We've made mistakes defensively, base running, pitching, hitting, all the way around. We haven't really put it together except for a few games and when you do that you're going to lose."

His counterpart on the Dodgers, Adrian Gonzalez, has been doing a sort of Goldschmidt imitation lately. A-Gon has hit .423 with three home runs and 11 RBIs over the past six games, all against NL West rivals. He has a 12-game hitting streak going, but could be tamed by the left-hander Miley.

In 2014, Gonzalez has raked at a .325 clip vs. right-handed pitching with four home runs, and just .217 with one tater shot vs. lefties.

The Dodgers have been winning despite injuries to multiple stars, and myriad distractions involving outfielder Yasiel Puig. The latest involves the shocking tale of his defection from Cuba, which includes rumors of drug cartel involvement, shady Miami businessmen, and death threats.

Puig has elected not to comment on the controversy, telling the Associated Press "I'm only concentrating on the season and being the best teammate and helping my teammates."
