The Arizona Diamondbacks were sure happy they made the Adam Dunn trade in early August. It has not only helped in the long-run, providing a number 4 hitter with legit power, but also gave them a 4-3 victory on this Wednesday night. Dunn hit a 2-run double in the bottom of the 9th off Cardinals' closer Chris Perez to give the Baby Backs their 71st win on the year. The Los Angeles Dodgers also won tonight though, so they couldn't stretch their 2.5 game lead.
Arizona short-stop Stephen Drew had another strong day, just two days after hitting for the cycle, going 2-5 with a igniting triple in the 9th. As for the Cardinals, free-agent signing Kyle Lohse pitched a strong 6 innings, giving up no runs and only 5 hits. He now has a 3.76 ERA on the year, much better than his career line was.
