Dodgers sweep D'backs


Another blown save -- No. 19 on the season.

The result: A 7-5 win for the LA Dodgers over the Arizona Diamondbacks last night at Chase Field as Heath Bell allows the tying run to cross the plate in the ninth inning -- sending the final game of the three-game series into extra innings.

The Dodgers win the game in 14 innings thanks to home runs by Hanley Ramirez and A. J Ellis. Josh Collmenter (4-2) is saddled with the loss.

Arizona falls to 47-44 and its lead in the NL West over the Dodgers (45-45) dwindles to 1 1/2 games.

A.J. Pollock went 3 for 6 for the Diamondbacks, while Paul Goldschmidt went 2 for 5, scored a run and knocked in two runs to increase his National League leading RBI total to 76.

Arizona closes out its 10-game home stand with a four-game series with Milwaukee (37-53). Wade Miley (5-7, 4.06 ERA) takes the mound tonight in the opener.
