Bradley blanks Dodgers

Arizona Diamondbacks


I guess you could say it was Archie Bradley's day.

In his first start with the Diamondbacks, the 22-year-old right-hander allowed one hit, struck out six and walked four in six innings of work as Arizona beat the LA Dodgers 6-0 today at Chase Field to go up 2-0 in the three-game series.

Bradley also singled in his first at bat as a member of the Diamondbacks.

The Arizona bullpen made sure they kept the shutout intact as Brad Ziegler pitched a scoreless seventh and eighth inning and Randall Delgado handled things in the ninth, allowing just one hit. Ziegler recorded one strike out and Delgado fanned two.

It wasn't Clayton Kershaw's day. The National League MVP in 2014, pitched 6 1/3 innings and  allowed 10 hits -- including a two-run home run by Paul Goldschmidt in the seventh inning. It was Goldy's second home run of the season, both have come off the Dodgers.

Arizona (3-2) goes for the sweep on Sunday at 1:10 pm as Josh Collmenter takes the mound for the Diamondbacks and Zack Greinke gets the call for the Dodgers.
