<div class="pre">San Francisco (27-31) at Arizona (36-24) 9:40 pm EDT</div>

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- The Arizona Diamondbacks are red-hot, butthey will get a tough test against a pitcher they have struggledto beat.

Noah Lowry (5-5, 3.28 ERA) takes the mound for the San FranciscoGiants looking to slow down the Diamondbacks in the seriesfinale on Thursday.

Arizona won 1-0 behind seven scoreless innings from Brandon Webband a home run from Chris Young, and have won 11 of their last12 games. Young also won Tuesday's game with a walk-off homerin the 10th.

However, Lowry owns a four-game winning streak over Arizona witha 1.35 ERA in that span. Overall Lowry is 5-1 with a 2.36 ERAin eight career starts vs. the Diamondbacks. The Giants, whohave dropped nine of 11, hope that track record will lead totheir first win in Arizona in five tries this season.

In his last time out the lefthander allowed four runs and fivehits in seven innings in a 5-2 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Livan Hernandez (5-3, 3.65 ERA) will try to prolongthe Diamondbacks hot streak. On Friday, Hernandez lost to NewYork as he allowed three runs and eight hits in six frames.

Barry Bonds is expected to be back in the lineup after he waslimited to a pinch hit appearance due to shin splints that havecaused him to miss his last two starts. The lefthanded sluggerremains 10 homers shy of breaking Hank Aaron's all-time record.
