That game will be followed by the Mesa Solar Sox facing the Peoria Javelinas at 3:30 p.m. The event wraps up with the Scottsdale Scorpions against the Glendale Desert Dogs at 6:30 p.m.
The Arizona Fall League is an off-season league owned by Major League Baseball and features seven top prospects from each MLB team.
