No Hanging Chad: Dodgers Pick Up Billingsley in Nick of Time

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 1-0, their sixth win in eight games against the Snakes. Chad Billingsley pitched six shutout innings, and the Dodgers managed to score a run in the bottom of the sixth to put him in the position to win. The bullpen did the rest as Jonathan Broxton's perfect ninth inning gave him his 13th save. Billingsley received his seventh victory, and James Loney scored the only run on a leadoff triple in the sixth, sent home by Casey Blake's sac-fly. The D-Backs could not muster any offense; Stephen Drew was the only player with two hits.
