The Diamondbacks carry a commanding 2-0 lead into Game 3 of the best-of-five National League Division Series while putting the Los Angeles Dodgers on the brink of elimination. The Dodgers need to win three consecutive games to avoid the embarrassment of a second NLDS defeat in two seasons. Just about everything has gone right for the Diamondbacks, who have scored nine first-inning runs in two games and have limited Dodgers starters Clayton Kershaw and Bobby Miller to a combined two innings. In Game 2, relievers Ryan Thompson, Kevin Ginkel and Paul Sewald held the Dodgers scoreless over the final 3 1/3 innings. Lynn is 6-1 lifetime against the Diamondbacks with a 2.96 ERA in 14 appearances (12 starts).
