The Los Angeles Dodgers got a good effort from starter Bartolo Colon in defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium. The final score was 4-2. The Dodgers bumped their record to 71-69 with this latest triumph.

The Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks with some clutch hitting. The double by Homer Bush in the bottom of the fourth is a good example. With two down, Bush gave his team the lead, 3-2, when he came through with the big hit.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Los Angeles manager Dave Ginter.
