Dodgers win, Diamondbacks lose

The Dodgers blank Tampa Bay 5-0 in Los Angeles tonight, while the Arizona Diamondbacks strand 10 runners and fall to the New York Mets 4-1 at Chase Field.

Arizona (59-56) drop a full game in the NL West standings and trail the Dodgers (66-50) by 6 1/2 games. The Diamondbacks only run tonight came on a solo shot from Aaron Hill. Brandon McCarthy (2-6) pitched seven innings, allowing six hits and two runs, but the Diamondbacks left too many runners stranded on the base paths tonight and their current winning streak ends at three.

The Diamondbacks will try to salvage the rubber game of the three-game series with the Mets  on Sunday afternoon when they send Zeke Spruill (0-1, 6.48 ERA) to the mound to face Jonathon Niese (3-6, 4.32 ERA).
