The Los Angeles Dodgers have retaken the National League West division for the first time since April 4th. The one man carnival known as Manny Ramirez hit a 3-R HR in the 5th inning off Arizona ace Brandon Webb, as well as a 2-R double off reliever Juan Cruz. Dodgers starter Chad Billingsley had a commanding performance, going 6 1/3 shutout innings while only allowing 4 hits and walking one. He added 9 K's, and strolled to his 14th win.
Something must be wrong with D-Backs starter Brandon Webb, as he's had 3 terrible starts in a row. Today he gave up 7 earned-runs in 5 2/3 innings, watching his ERA climb to 3.41. He's been stuck on 19 wins for the last three outings, and might not earn his 20th if he continues having outings like this.
Arizona will get another chance to regain first place tomorrow, as two rookies face off in Max Scherzer vs. Clayton Kershaw.
