The Arizona Diamondbacks are hopeful that right-hander Zack Godley will continue to be a road warrior when he takes the mound for the second game of a three-game set against the Atlanta Braves.

The visiting Diamondbacks will start Godley (1-1, 7.41) against Atlanta right-hander Kevin Gausman (1-1, 2.84).

The Diamondbacks won the first game 9-6 on Tuesday when first baseman Christian Walker hit the go-ahead homer in the ninth inning. Arizona has won two straight after losing four in a row.

A year ago, Godley was 9-6 with a 5.46 ERA in 18 starts away from home. He went 7-3 in the final 12 road starts with a 5.13 ERA. In his career, Godley is 18-15 with a 4.54 ERA.

High five for fox sports go allowing you to jump in after the action has started and watch from the beginning. Really helps during these 430 starts during the work week. Nice to get home, make dinner and then start the game. I just have to remember to not come here while I am watching it to get spoiled haha.

1-7 of tonight's batting order looks to be the best 1-7 of the season.

'Looking forward to a lot of singles and doubles and, perhaps, a couple of home runs.

With Godley's history of 4.-- and 5.-- ERA, we'll need it.

A lot of popups for the first 1 1/2 innings on both sides.

Ahmed strands Walker on 2B in the top of the 2nd.

Braves Catcher McCann, just off the disabled list, drives in two runs. And now runners on first and third with one out.

In setting up for a bunt, two D-backs infielders crowd Godley, because of his inability to throw to the bases. Ouch!

Godley got lucky. A double play ball up the middle.

2-0 Braves after 2.

Adam Jones homered with 2 outs in the top of the 4th to make it 2-1 Braves.

And here in the 7th, Marte doubles in Jones with two outs to tie it.

3 hits in the game for the D-backs.

Ahmed whiffs to leave the go ahead run in scoring position.

Two D-backs in the bullpen, but Godley is back out to pitch
the bottom of the 7th.

I dunno! He is close to 90 pitches. This could be trouble!

Godley walks the leadoff hitter. Torey is making the change. Andriese in to pitch. And a force out.

A pitch in the dirt. Runner on 2B. And a walk. Close call. Potential lead runs on 1st and 2nd with one out.

And Andriese gets two clutch strikeouts to end the inning.

D-backs start the 8th by pinch hitting for the catcher and pitcher.

A strikeout and a foul popup. Then leadoff hitter Dyson singles
and takes off for 2B and a wild pitch.

Escobar strikes out and it is still tied at 2-2 going into the bottom
of the 8th. Archie in to pitch.

Heart of the order will be coming up for the D-backs in the top of
the 9th.

Archie strikes out the first two batters, then a walk. And a fly out to RF.
