The Diamondbacks continue their quest for home-field advantage in the first round of the playoffs Tuesday night against Kemp and the Dodgers at Chase Field. “Obviously it’s more important for me to be playing (in Saturday’s ALDS opener) than it is now, so we’ll see what he thinks and go from there,” Upton said. Kemp also leads the majors with 123 RBIs, but he’ll likely fall short in his triple crown attempt because his .324 batting average trails New York’s and Milwaukee’s — both hitting .334. Kemp is 19 for 42 (.452) with five home runs and 13 RBIs during a 10-game hitting streak. Arizona (93-67) had its four-game winning streak snapped with a 4-2 loss to Los Angeles on Monday. While the defeat was their third in 23 home games, it kept the Diamondbacks one game behind Milwaukee for home-field advantage in the NL division series. Arizona holds the tiebreaker over the Brewers. Los Angeles counters with (13-16, 3.17 ERA), who could be making his last appearance in a Dodgers uniform while trying for a third straight winning start. Those games also will provide Los Angeles’ with two more chances to add to his stellar offensive season. Kemp and the Dodgers get their first look at right-hander , who will make his major league debut for the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. After missing the entire 2010 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2009, the ninth overall pick in 2007 went 11-8 with a 3.79 ERA for Double-A Mobile. We will post results of this match, as soon as posible.
