Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Matt Kemp crushed a Juan Gutierrez fastball into the left-field bleachers with one out in the 10th to end an incredible pitching duel and give the Dodgers a 1-0 win against the Diamondbacks.
Kemp Ends Pitchers Duel With A Walkoff Home Run As Dodgers Down D’Backs, 1-0
John Ely got the start for Los Angeles and pitched beautifully over seven innings, allowing just two hits and two walks with five strikeouts.
Jeff Weaver (3-1) got the win for tossing a scoreless top half to the 10th, while Hong-Chih Kuo worked 1 1/3 key frames of perfect relief.
The Dodgers have won three straight, four of five overall and have beaten the D’Backs in seven of eight opportunities this season -- including the first two games to this three-game set.
Arizona's Dan Haren struck out seven and worked around seven hits in eight scoreless frames without allowing a walk.
It was the slumping Diamondbacks’ ninth consecutive loss, matching an equal stretch of ineptitude dating back to an August 5-14, 2004 skid.
