Diamondbacks jump out early, hold on to down Dodgers <h3>ARIZONA 8, LA DODGERS 7</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Eric Byrnes is having a season toremember. Byrnes blasted a two-run homer and finished with three RBI,helping the Arizona Diamondbacks post a 8-7 victory over the LosAngeles Dodgers on Saturday. Ranked among the team leaders in every major hitting category,Byrnes also is seventh in the National League in hits (135) andsixth in stolen bases (28). A lifetime .269 hitter, he isbatting a career-high .306 this season, good for the 13th-bestmark in the NL. Byrnes wasted little time putting Arizona ahead in the first,following a walk to Orlando Hudson with a two-run shot offDodgers starter Derek Lowe (8-10), who was making his firststart since straining his groin on July 25. The 31-year-oldCalifornia native notched his 38th multi-hit effort of theseason with a single in the ninth. Miguel Montero also hit a two-run homer and scored twice for theDiamondbacks, who improved to an NL-best 15-7 since theAll-Star break. Trailing, 8-1, after Montero's shot in the top of the sixth, LosAngeles chipped away over the next three innings. Andre Ethierplated Nomar Garciaparra with a sacrifice fly in the bottomhalf of the sixth, narrowing the deficit to 8-2. The Dodgers added four more runs in the seventh on LuisGonzalez's sacrifice fly and Garciaparra's three-run blast overthe wall in left, drawing the Dodgers within 8-6. Ethier struckagain in the eighth, when crushed a pitch from Arizona relieverTony Pena deep into the seats in right for his ninth homer,making it a one-run game. But that was all the Dodgers could manage as Pena turned thingsover to Jose Valverde in the ninth. Arizona's all-time savesleader who had blown two of his previous three saveopportunities, Valverde tossed a perfect frame to collect his33rd save in 38 chances. Livan Hernandez (7-7), who was coming off one of the worstoutings of his career against Atlanta on Sunday, recoverednicely by yielding two runs - one earned - and five hits withfour strikeouts in six innings. Lowe labored through five frames, surrendering six runs - fourearned - and four hits. The sinkerballer, who has not won sinceJune 22, had his winless streak extended to seven starts. Garciaparra finished with two hits, three RBI and two run scoredfor the Dodgers, who dropped their second straight contestagainst the Diamondbacks after defeating them in seven of theprevious nine meetings.

The 31-year-oldCalifornia native notched his 38th multi-hit effort of theseason with a single in the ninth. "It's tough to look for anything else other than a sinker whenyou're facing Derek Lowe," Byrnes said. "You have to. Hethrows a sinker more than 80 percent of the time. So I waslooking for something down in the zone and I got something downin the zone." Miguel Montero also hit a two-run homer and scored twice for theDiamondbacks, who improved to an NL-best 15-7 since theAll-Star break. "We knew they (the Diamondbacks) came in here hot," Dodgersmanager Grady Little. "Everything they do seems to be turningout the right way." Trailing, 8-1, after Montero's shot in the top of the sixth, LosAngeles chipped away over the next three innings. Andre Ethierplated Nomar Garciaparra with a sacrifice fly in the bottomhalf of the sixth, narrowing the deficit to 8-2. The Dodgers added four more runs in the seventh, takingadvantage of rookie right fielder Justin Upton's second fieldingerror of the contest on a routine fly ball off the bat ofRussell Martin. The 19-year-old, playing in just his third major league game,appeared to take his eye off the ball at the last moment,allowing the ball to bounce off the heel of his glove andloading the bases. Los Angeles capitalized in the next two at-bats with LuisGonzalez's sacrifice fly. Garciaparra followed the Dodgercleanup hitter with a three-run blast over the wall in left,closing the deficit to 8-6. Ethier struck again in the eighth, when he crushed a pitch fromArizona reliever Tony Pena deep into the seats in right for hisninth homer, making it a one-run game. But that was all the closer the Dodgers could get as Pena turnedthings over to Jose Valverde in the ninth. Arizona's all-timesaves leader who had blown two of his previous three saveopportunities, Valverde tossed a perfect frame to collect his33rd save in 38 chances. "He's throwing strikes and going at guys," Byrnes said. "He'sgot a second and third pitch now that keeps everyone off hisfastball. His cutter is unbelievable." Livan Hernandez (7-7), who was coming off one of the worstoutings of his career against Atlanta on Sunday, recoverednicely by yielding two runs - one earned - and five hits withfour strikeouts in six innings. "Livan was beautiful tonight," Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvinsaid. "It looks like he's kind of turned the corner." Lowe labored through five frames, surrendering six runs - fourearned - and four hits. The sinkerballer, who has not won sinceJune 22, had his winless streak extended to seven starts. "It's frustrating," Lowe said. "It's been an eternity sinceI've won and I'm trying to get back on a roll." Garciaparra finished with two hits, three RBI and two runsscored for the Dodgers, who dropped their second straightcontest against the Diamondbacks after defeating them in sevenof the previous nine meetings.
