Loney's Double Saves Wolf in Win

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5, their 36th win of the season. The Dodgers were in an early hole after Justin Upton hit a grand-slam that put Arizona up 5-0 in the second inning, but the Dodgers did not stop fighting. Andre Ethier hit a solo-homer, and LA broke out in the eighth inning. With the bases loaded, Orlando Hudson worked a walk and James Loney immediately followed with a 3-run double that tied the score. Casey Blake singled to drive Loney home for the game-winning run. Randy Wolf went six innings despite giving up five runs, and received his ninth no-decision of the season. Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth for his 12th save of the season. Felipe Lopez had two hits and scored twice for the D-Backs, and Dan Haren went seven innings, allowing only one run on two hits with seven strikeouts.
