Dodgers sail into first place in NL West

The Arizona Diamondbacks (51-48) relinquished their lead in the NL West to the surging LA Dodgers (51-47) last night as they fall 4-2 to the Chicago Cubs at Chase Field.

The Dodgers clobber the Blue Jays 14-5 in Toronto and now lead the division by a half game. The Dodgers have won 21 of their last 26 games.

Arizona's hitting woes continue. The D'backs get just six hits off the Cubs in the opener of the four-game series -- three singles by Didi Gregorius, a double by Cody Ross and a 2 for 4 performance from Paul Goldschmidt, who knocks in his 79th run of the year.

The Diamondbacks will send Pat Corbin (11-1) to the mound tonight.
