Florida Marlins vs Arizona Diamondbacks

Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona
The Arizona Diamondbacks do not want to make a big deal about being alone atop the NL West for the first time since September 2008.
Looking to win seven in a row for the first time since that 2008 season, the surging Diamondbacks open a three-game home set with the Florida Marlins on Monday night.
Arizona (29-24) was in fourth place, 5 1/2 games out of first, and mired in a season-high five-game skid May 13 before winning 14 of 16 to take a one-half game division lead over San Francisco.
"It's been nice," outfielder Chris Young told the Diamondbacks' official website. "But you don't let your head get too big."
The Diamondbacks took over sole possession of first place Sunday after they scored three runs in the eighth to beat Houston 4-2 and conclude a seven-game road trip with six consecutive victories. Xavier Nady had a two-run double during the rally, setting the stage for J.J. Putz to convert his 16th straight save to start the season -- the longest active streak in the majors.
