Sunday afternoon, the Arizona Diamondbacks will take the field behind Vidal Nuno as they take on the Philadelphia Phillies and Roberto Hernandez. Nuno will make his 18^th start and 21^st appearance as Hernandez makes his 19^th start and 22^nd appearance.

Vidal Nuno didn't factor into the decision in his last outing and that froze his record at 2 - 6 with a 5.13 ERA. The last time out, Nuno gave up 3 runs and 7 hits (including 2 homers) in 4.2 innings. He walked a batter and struck out 3. The change in environment from New York to Arizona has not helped Nuno's game at all and it doesn't appear that he will make any turnaround in the rest of the season. Last season, Nuno was 1 - 2 with a 2.25 ERA in 3 starts and 2 relief appearances for the New York Yankees.

In his rookie campaign in 2013, Nuno didn't face the Phillies and has only faced 2 of their hitters before. Ronny Cedeno is 0 for 1 against Nuno and Marlon Byrd is 1 for 2 with a homer and 2 RBIs.

Roberto Hernandez missed the decision in his last start and that held his record at 4 - 8 with a 4.25 ERA. In his last outing, Hernandez gave up 3 runs and 5 hits (including a home run) in 5.2 innings. He walked 3 batters while only striking out 1. Hernandez has been brutal in the last few months and is just 2 - 6 in his last 10 outings. In 2013, Hernandez was 6 - 13 with a save and a 4.89 ERA in 24 starts and 8 relief appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Last season, Hernandez got the win in his only outing against the Diamondbacks after going the distance and allowing just 2 runs and 5 hits (including a homer). This season, Hernandez lost to the Diamondbacks after giving up 4 runs and 7 hits (including a home run) in 6 innings.
