Shipley Records First Career Win As D'Backs Beat Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Braden Shipley pitched six scoreless innings to earn his first major league victory and Jean Segura hit a leadoff home run as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 Saturday night.

Shipley (1-1), Arizona's 2013 first-round draft pick, held the Dodgers to five hits in his second career start as the Diamondbacks won for only the third time in 11 games. He struck out four and walked one.

Segura hit Scott Kazmir's third pitch of the game over the left-field fence for his fourth leadoff home run of the season. He added an RBI double in the second, and is hitting .396 (19 for 48) over his last 12 games.

Kazmir (9-4) gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. The left-hander entered the game as the National League's only undefeated pitcher — minimum of 10 starts — since May 14, going 7-0 with a 3.73 ERA in 13 starts.

Joc Pederson hit his 15th home run, and second in two nights, with two outs in the ninth inning for Los Angeles, which lost for the second time in six games.

Jake Barrett got the final four outs for his third save.

The Dodgers fell two games behind division-leading San Francisco. Los Angeles went 17-9 from June 26 through Friday night, and had cut the Giants' division lead from 6 1/2 games to one since the All Star break.

Brandon Drury singled home Phil Gosselin with two outs in the seventh for Arizona's final run. Gosselin had been called out stretching a single into a double, but the Diamondbacks challenged the call and it was overturned after a 1-minute, 27-second review.

Chris Owings broke out of a 2-for-22 slump by flaring an RBI single to the opposite field in the second for Arizona, which came into the game with a NL-leading .277 batting average against left-handed pitching.

Corey Seager drilled his 30th double of the season with two outs in the third, tying the Dodgers' rookie record for doubles set by Eric Karros in 1992.

Shipley went 8-5 with a 3.69 ERA in 19 starts at Triple-A Reno before being called up. The 24-year-old right-hander lost his big league debut against Milwaukee on Monday night, giving up six runs in 5 1/3 innings.

WINNING FORMULA

The Diamondbacks improved their record to 20-1 this season when allowing three runs or fewer on the road, trailing only the 1981 Cardinals (21-1) in this scenario since 1901.

NO GOLD HERE

Paul Goldschmidt, who torched Los Angeles for 21 doubles, 24 home runs and 74 RBIs in his first 86 games against the Dodgers — including 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs in the series' opener — went 0 for 4 in this game.

TRAINER'S ROOM

Diamondbacks: Zach Greinke pitched three innings in a rehab start Friday night in an Arizona rookie league game interrupted by a thunderstorm. Greinke, who threw 52 pitches, is expected to make one more minor-league start before returning to the Diamondbacks in 10 days or so, said Manager Chip Hale. ... Arizona sent LHP Zac Curtis to Double-A and designated RHP Josh Collmenter and INF-OF Micahel Freeman for assignment on Saturday.

Dodgers: Los Angeles will make a decision in the next few days whether to activate INF Kike Hernandez (left ribcage inflammation). ... Nothing new on LHP Clayton Kershaw, who continues to rehab with core and back strengthening exercises. He has not resumed any baseball activities with no timetable for a return, said Manager Dave Roberts.

UP NEXT

Diamondbacks: LHP Patrick Corbin will make his fourth start of the season against the Dodgers in the series finale on Sunday. Corbin is 0-2 with a 5.51 ERA this year, but has a 2-1 record with a 3.25 ERA in five career starts at Dodger Stadium.

Dodgers: RHP Bud Norris (6-9,4.27) makes his seventh start for the Dodgers since being acquired from Atlanta in June. Over his last 10 games — including nine starts — Norris is 5-2 with a 3.40 ERA, striking out 59 batters in 53 innings.
