Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Trevor Bauer earned his first major league
victory and Paul Goldschmidt knocked in four runs as the Diamondbacks downed
the Dodgers, 7-1, in the finale of a four-game series.
Bauer (1-1), who gave up seven runs -- six earned -- in his last start,
rebounded to hold the Dodgers scoreless over six frames while allowing only
two hits. He struck out six and walked one, after walking seven in his first 7
1/3 innings in the big leagues.
Bauer improved throughout the day. After allowing leadoff doubles in the
second and third innings, he retired 12 straight hitters to shut down Los
Angeles.
Goldschmidt picked up a pair of hits, including a double, to help Arizona win
wrap up the first half of the season with three straight wins.
Justin Upton, surrounded by trade talk, also excelled for the Diamondbacks,
coming up a homer short of the cycle and scoring three runs.
Arizona continued its dominance against Chris Capuano (9-4), winning for the
sixth time in its last seven matchups with the left-hander. Capuano
surrendered five runs on nine hits and a walk in five innings.
