Diamondbacks Top Dodgers to Even Record
It was a fun time at Bank One Ballpark, where the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks tangled.

The Arizona Diamondbacks handed the Los Angeles Dodgers a loss at Bank One Ballpark. The final score was 5-4. Lance Blankenship was named player of the game for Arizona. In addition to his 1 single and 1 home run, he scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Danny Patterson earned his 8th save in 8 tries.

Delino DeShields, who is tied for 3rd in the UL in doubles with 7, aided the Arizona cause with a 2-run single in the bottom of the second. For the game, the second baseman was 1 for 4. He drove in 2 runs.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Blankenship said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."

The defending champion Diamondbacks have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 13-13 with the win.
