PHOENIX -- Facing division rival Los Angeles for the fourth time in two months, Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill reached deep into his bag of tricks. Whitney Mercilus Jersey . Cahill got through a rocky first inning before mixing four pitches to retire 20 of his final 22 batters, and Arizona beat the slumping Dodgers 3-2 on Wednesday night. "I felt confident I could throw all four pitches anytime in the count," said Cahill, who has won his last four starts against Los Angeles. "If you only have two pitches working and they know it and I know it, you end up trying to throw too fine a pitch." Justin Upton and Gerardo Parra hit consecutive RBI singles to support Cahills seven strong innings. The Dodgers, who have lost six of seven, squandered a chance to pull even with St. Louis in the race for the second NL wild-card spot. The Cardinals lost 3-2 to San Diego earlier Wednesday. The defeat left Los Angeles a game behind St. Louis. The teams begin a four-game series Thursday at Dodger Stadium. "Im sure people are getting tired of hearing me say it, but we have to turn the page," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "St. Louis and ourselves, we have let a lot of people back in the race -- but its still in our hands. No matter how bad it has looked and no matter where it has been, its still right there for us." Arizona (71-72) moved within four games of the Cardinals. "Its getting better," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We need to keep running in the same direction were going now, but its getting interesting." Cahill (11-11) scattered four hits, struck out seven and did not walk a batter for the second time this season. He also did not issue a free pass June 20 against Seattle. "He kept it together," Gibson said. "He limited the damage and that was big." Los Angeles took a 2-0 lead in the first when Shane Victorino singled, Cahill hit Matt Kemp with a pitch and Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run double to right-centre. After that, Luis Cruzs two singles represented all the offence for the Dodgers over the final eight innings. "It feels good that youre able to score two early," Mattingly said. "But that feeling goes away as youre not able to add on. As the game gets later youve given the momentum back." Pitching with a 2-1 lead, Dodgers starter Aaron Harang issued consecutive two-out walks in the sixth. Upton followed with a single to tie the game 2-all and end Harangs night. Left-hander Randy Choate came on to face the left-handed hitting Parra, who lined a single to right that gave the Diamondbacks a 3-2 lead. "You get two guys who are up there that can change a game real quick, so youre not trying to lay a cookie in there," Harang said. "Youre trying to give them something to swing at that theyre either going to hit softly or hit on the ground somewhere. Then I end up walking those guys." Harang (9-9) allowed four hits in 5 2-3 innings but walked four. David Hernandez pitched the ninth for his second save in two nights, retiring Kemp, Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez in order. "As closer, thats who you want to face," Hernandez said. "Theyre not all going to be three-run saves." Gonzalez, punched out on a called third strike for his third strikeout of the game, thought it was ball four. Los Angeles, which dropped seven games behind first-place San Francisco in the NL West, is batting .184 in its last five games with one homer and seven runs. The Diamondbacks have won 10 of the past 12 meetings between the clubs. Arizona starters are 9-0 with a 1.75 ERA in their last 12 games against the Dodgers. "Winning one-run games against division rivals, sometimes those are better than blowouts," Cahill said. The Diamondbacks cut Los Angeles lead in half in the second when Paul Goldschmidt singled, stole second, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a sacrifice fly by Upton. NOTES: Hernandez last recorded back-to-back saves on July 7-8, 2011. ... Arizona has won consecutive one-run games for the first time since opening the season with three straight one-run victories over the Giants. ... Diamondbacks closer J.J. Putz missed his second straight game with stiffness in his back. ... Harang is 3-8 with a 3.19 ERA in 17 career appearances and 16 starts against Arizona. ... What better way to reduce some pennant-race tension than phantom infield practice? Before the game, the Dodgers pantomimed their way through their infield warmup, with the fielders scooping imaginary grounders and catchers stumbling in foul territory under invisible, sky-high popups. ... Dodgers RHP Josh Beckett (1-2) starts against St. Louis RHP Lance Lynn (14-7) on Thursday. The Diamondbacks have the day off before rookie LHP Tyler Skaggs (1-1) faces RHP Matt Cain (13-5) to begin a three-game series against San Francisco. Texans Hats .J. Edds with season-ending knee injuries. Coach Chuck Pagano says both players have "significant" ACL injuries to their left knees and the team hopes to add two players to the roster soon. Elite Andre Johnson Jersey . - Philadelphia native Chris Albright has signed with the Union. http://www.nfltexansgearshop.com/owen-daniels-jersey/ . PETERSBURG, Fla. Pink Owen Daniels Jersey . Rinne returned to dominating form with 32 saves -- including one while laying on his back during a 5-on-3 power play late in the third period. Glover Quin Jersey . The 24-year-old Chiesa (8-0) choked out "The Ultimate Fighter Live" teammate Al Iaquinta (5-2-1) in the first round to win their lightweight tourney bout.RENTON, Wash. -- Kellen Winslow was acquired by the Seattle Seahawks in the hopes that along with Zach Miller the duo could become a formidable set of tight ends who could add another element to the Seahawks offence. Those plans drastically changed on Saturday when Winslow was released by the team, keeping true to the Seahawks past form of tinkering with their roster even after all training camp cuts are made. A team spokesman confirmed Winslows release shortly after it was first reported by ESPN.com. Winslow was scheduled to make $3.3 million in base salary in 2012, following his trade from Tampa Bay to Seattle in May. Seattle moved quickly to fill Winslows spot by agreeing to terms with former Cleveland tight end Evan Moore, who was released by the Browns on Friday. Moore caught 34 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns a season ago for Cleveland. Cutting Winslow briefly left Seattle with just Miller and Anthony McCoy on the active roster, but there is likely to be more shuffling before the Seahawks start preparations for the regular season opener at Arizona on Sept. 9. The Seahawks gave up a conditional draft pick to the Buccaneers to get Winslow, who said it became clear he didnt fit into thhe plans of new Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano. Camo Owen Daniels Jersey. Even with knee problems in the past, he was expected to be a significant contributor to the Seahawks offence. "I knew when Raheem (Morris) left and coach Schiano came in I was kind of skeptical how the fit was going to be, how the team was going to be run," Winslow said during training camp. "So it does motivate me. But I just want to be an elite tight end. My thing is catching the ball. I want to be the top guy at that." Winslow didnt have much impact during preseason games, finishing with just three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown. His practice time was also closely monitored as Seattle tried to get Winslow to the regular season without putting additional stress on his knee. The Seahawks believed that schematically they could create mismatches using Winslow and Miller lined up against slower linebackers or smaller safeties. Miller signed with the Seahawks before the 2011 season, but was stuck in mostly a blocking situation during his first season and never was much of a receiving threat. "Ive always had a blocking tight end and Zach is both," Winslow said during camp. "Well be even more dangerous." ' ' ' |
