Brewers avoid Diamondbacks' sweep

The Arizona Diamondbacks looked a little tired today at Chase Field.

After all, the D'backs lost 5-1 to Milwaukee today and finished up their 20th game in 20 days.

Arizona wins 6 of 10 in its 10-game home stand, taking 3 of 4 from Milwaukee, and now get a few days off for the All-Star break. Two D'backs -- Paul Goldschmidt and Pat Corbin, head for the All-Star game, while the rest of the Diamondbacks enjoy some down time until Friday when they resume play in San Francisco with a three-game series against the Giants.

Ian Kennedy (3-6) suffers the loss today. Kennedy goes 6 1/3 innings, gives up all five runs on nine hits as Arizona falls to 50-45, but maintains its 2 1/2 game lead over the LA Dodgers, losers at home today to Colorado, 3-1.

Aaron Hill and Goldschmidt combined for four of Arizona's eight hits today.

Goldy heads for the All-Star game with 21 home runs, 77 RBI and  a .313 batting average. Corbin, of course, is 11-1 on the season and carries an ERA of 2.35.

Good luck to both players.
