Boston beats Corbin and the D'backs


The Arizona Diamondbacks lose 5-2 in Boston tonight and fall 4 1/2 games back of the LA Dodgers in the National League Western Division.

Patrick Corbin took the loss and falls to 12-3 on the season as the Diamondbacks fail once again offensively in support of their young All-Star hurler. Aside from a solo homer by Paul Goldschmidt and an RBI-single by Aaron Hill, the Diamondbacks record just four more hits in the game -- a single by Gerardo Parra, another single by Hill and two hits from Wil  Nieves as the newly-acquired Jake Peavy goes seven innings for Boston, allowing four hits and just two earned runs.

Arizona (56 -54) will complete the three-game series with Boston tomorrow as Brandon McCarthy (2-4) returns to the mound for the Diamondbacks. Felix Doubront (7-5) will get the starting nod for the Red Sox.
