DeSclafini is hoping for a consistent start.
"I want to be consistent," DeSclafani said via MLB.com. "Keep my team in the game and give the team a chance to win."
Niese is hoping that he can pitch better than he has coming into the game.
"I feel like I've been pitching well, just not well enough," Niese told MLB.com. "I had a lot of chances to close out the games. I've just got to do a better job of focusing when we have the lead, just putting up zeros."
