PHOENIX - Hello one more time from Chase Field, where the Nationals and Diamondbacks wrap up their series this afternoon, each seeking to walk away having won two of three. And each sends a guy to the mound with a connection to the opposing team.

Patrick Corbin makes his return to the desert, facing the organization that developed him into an All-Star, then watched him leave for Washington and $140 million. Corbin has enjoyed catching up with friends the last few days, but he's now all business trying to tame a Diamondbacks lineup that torched Stephen Strasburg last night.

Taylor Clarke, meanwhile, faces the Nationals for the second time. The Ashburn, Va., native got to pitch in front of his friends and family earlier this summer, giving up three runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings. He'll be facing a Nationals lineup that has Matt Adams back at first base but Gerardo Parra in center field, with Victor Robles getting a rare day off.
