D'backs beat Rays, head for Texas for make-up game

Wade Miley goes 6 1/3 innings, Eric Chavez homers and so does Paul Goldschmidt as the Arizona Diamondbacks shutout Tampa Bay 7-0 tonight in St. Petersburg.

The D'backs close to within 2 1/2 games of the LA Dodgers (57-49) as they collect 14 hits tonight, while allowing the Rays just three hits. The Dodgers lose in LA tonight 3-0 to the New York Yankees. Arizona (55-52) heads for Texas and a make-up game with the Rangers tomorrow before heading for Boston and a three-game series with the Red Sox on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Miley improves to 8-8 on the season. Chavez belts his ninth homer of the year, while Goldschmidt collects his 24th homer and now leads the National League with 86 RBI.
