PHOENIX (Ticker) - In their final regular season home game theArizona Diamondbacks had a chance to extend their lead in theNational League West, but the Los Angeles Dodgers had otherideas.


Rookie James Loney had three hits including a two-run home runas the Dodgers snapped a season-high seven-game skid with a 7-1victory over the Diamondbacks on Sunday.


Despite the loss Arizona (88-68) still holds a 2 1/2 game leadover the San Diego Padres (85-69), who lost to the ColoradoRockies 7-3. The Diamondbacks have six games left on theirschedule. All six are on the road, with three at Pittsburgh andthree at Colorado.


Chad Billingsley (12-5), who now has won five of his last sixdecisions, went 5 2/3 innings allowing just the one run on fivehits. The 22-year old righthander walked four but struck outsix.


The Dodgers opened the scoring in the first inning when TonyAbreu connected for his second home run of the season offDiamondbacks' starter Edgar Gonzalez for a 1-0 lead.

The Diamondbacks came right back in the bottom of the frame totie it at 1-1 on RBI single by Mark Reynolds that scored rookieChris Young.


Los Angeles took the lead in the fourth after Loney and RussellMartin hit back-to-back singles to start the inning, and eachadvanced on a wild pitch. Andre Either's sacrifice fly scoredLooney, and Andy LaRoche chased Gonzalez from the game with anRBI single to center to give the Dodgers a 3-1 lead.

The 24-year old Gonzalez (8-3) who has been used as a starterand out of the bullpen this season, lasted only 3 1/3 inningsallowing three runs and eight hits while striking out two.

The Dodgers padded their lead in the fifth when, with a man onfirst Loney hit a shot into the right field bullpen off relieverJuan Cruz for a 5-1 advantage.


Los Angeles then tacked on two more runs in the eighth asChin-Lung Hu drove in a run with a single. With runners onfirst-and-second, Juan Pierre reached on a infield single androokie Delwyn Young scored on a throwing error by shortstopStephen Drew for a 7-1 lead.

"Each game will get more and more important," Arizona managerBob Melvin said. "We are going into Pittsburgh and hopefully wecan do some damage there. Then we go into Colorado who is asgood as anyone in baseball right now, so it will be nice to dowell in Pittsburgh and see where we are at."


Chad Billingsley (12-5), who now has won five of his last sixdecisions, went 5 2/3 innings allowing just the one run on fivehits. The 22-year old righthander walked four but struck outsix.


"I started kind of shaky but I was able to come back after thatfirst inning," Billingsley said. "This year has been a learningexperience. I feel so much more comfortable out there and right<div class="pre">now my confidence level so much higher and that makes a real</div>difference."

"The finger bothered me a lot," Gonzalez said. "I stayed in butI had trouble with my location because of it. I wanted to helpmy team but it is so hard to throw like that."


The Dodgers padded their lead in the fifth when, with a man onfirst Loney hit a shot into the right field bullpen off relieverJuan Cruz for a 5-1 advantage.

"The team played good today up and down the lineup," Los Angelesmanager Grady Little said. "Chad was tremendous today. He hascome along way. He is a much more composed pitcher who stayswithin himself much more then he did last year."
