Wolf, Martin help Dodgers top Diamondbacks

<h3>LA DODGERS 9, ARIZONA 5</h3>PHOENIX (Ticker) -- Randy Johnson struggled in his first gameoff the disabled list as the Los Angeles Dodgers showed nomercy, posting a 9-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks onThursday.

Russell Martin had three hits - including a two-run homer - andJeff Kent added three hits and two RBI for Los Angeles, whichtook three of four from Arizona.

The Dodgers, who finished their 10-game road trip at 6-4, movedinto a tie for first place with the idle San Diego Padres in theNational League West Division.

Johnson (4-3), who was placed on the 15-day DL on June 11 with aherniated disk in his back, did not look like a five-time CyYoung Award winner. The 43-year-old was pulled after throwingjust 70 pitches in three innings, allowing four runs - threeearned - and six hits.

The lefthander, who walked two and struck out two, had won hisprevious four starts, posting a 1.52 ERA before suffering theinjury.

Los Angeles spoiled Johnson's return in the first inning, whenafter Rafael Furcal led off with a single, Martin blasted a434-foot homer over the center field wall for his ninth blastand a 2-0 advantage.

The Dodgers padded their lead in the third, when Kent scored ona fielding error by center fielder Chris Young. James Loneyadded an RBI single later in the frame to make it 4-0.

That was enough support for Randy Wolf (9-6), who yielded threeruns, four hits and six walks in six innings to snap a two-gamelosing streak. The lefthander, who struck out four, was just1-3 with a 6.35 ERA in his prior four outings.

Kent delivered a two-run single in the fourth, and Los Angelesplated two more runs in the sixth and one in the seventh towiden the gap to 9-1.

Eric Byrnes and Orlando Hudson each drove in two runs for theDiamondbacks, who have dropped seven of nine vs. the Dodgers andfell one-half game out of first in the NL West.

 

Wolf, Martin help Dodgers top Diamondbacks

<h3>LA DODGERS 9, ARIZONA 5</h3>PHOENIX (Ticker) -- Randy Johnson struggled in his first gameoff the disabled list as the Los Angeles Dodgers showed nomercy, posting a 9-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks onThursday.

Russell Martin had three hits - including a two-run homer - andJeff Kent added three hits and two RBI for Los Angeles, whichtook three of four from Arizona.

The Dodgers, who finished their 10-game road trip at 6-4, movedinto a tie for first place with the idle San Diego Padres in theNational League West Division.

"We like the way we are playing right now," Dodger manager GradyLittle said. "Everyone realizes it is going to be tight untilthe end. Last year, there were two teams. This year, therewill be three, maybe four. Beating them three out of four, Idon't put a lot of stock in those numbers."

Johnson (4-3), who was placed on the 15-day DL on June 11 with aherniated disk in his back, did not look like a five-time CyYoung Award winner. The 43-year-old was pulled after throwingjust 70 pitches in three innings, allowing four runs - threeearned - and six hits.

"I will chalk this one up to just coming of the DL and notpitching for 18 days," Johnson said. "I didn't execute mypitches and I got hurt."

The lefthander, who walked two and struck out two, had won hisprevious four starts, posting a 1.52 ERA before suffering theinjury.

"The rhythm I was in prior to going on the DL, I was on a roll,"Johnson said. "I am not going to get all worked up over it. Ipitched poorly, but I got back out there. It sure wasn't veryeffective, but I am looking forward to my next start."

Los Angeles spoiled Johnson's return in the first inning, whenafter Rafael Furcal led off with a single, Martin blasted a434-foot homer over the center field wall for his ninth blastand a 2-0 advantage.

"I was getting kind of worried falling behind 0-2," Martin said."After that, I had no choice but to swing the bat. It was afastball up a little and I took a good swing at it and ittraveled."

The Dodgers padded their lead in the third, when Kent scored ona fielding error by center fielder Chris Young. James Loneyadded an RBI single later in the frame to make it 4-0.

That was enough support for Randy Wolf (9-6), who yielded threeruns, four hits and six walks in six innings to snap a two-gamelosing streak. The lefthander, who struck out four, was just1-3 with a 6.35 ERA in his prior four outings.

"It is still a work in progress. Obviously, six walks is notideal," Wolf said. "It is getting more towards where I need tobe. I still have times where I have lapses, but it is going ina better direction."

Kent delivered a two-run single in the fourth, and Los Angelesplated two more runs in the sixth and one in the seventh towiden the gap to 9-1.

Eric Byrnes and Orlando Hudson each drove in two runs for theDiamondbacks, who have dropped seven of nine vs. the Dodgers andfell one-half game out of first in the NL West.

"Last night was a big win, but tonight we got behind early, so Idon't think it affects us going into tomorrow," Diamondbackmanager Bob Melvin said. "Randy didn't have his best stuffcoming off the DL, and that was expected."
