Diamondbacks slip out of first place at all-star break

Arizona Diamondbacks


The Arizona Diamondbacks win 2 of 3 in Atlanta but lose the finale 5-1 today and slip out of first place in the NL West -- 1/2 game behind the LA Dodgers who beat the LA Angels 5-3 today and own a 53-43 record, while the Diamondbacks are six percentage points back with a 53-44 record.

The Colorado Rockies head for the all-star break at 51-45 and are just two games out of first place in the NL West, while the San Francisco Giants are just four back at 50-48.

Should be a wild second half.
