<div class="pre">Arizona (61-50) at LA Dodgers (58-51) 10:10 pm EDT</div>

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Arizona Diamondbacks will look tofurther their advantage in the National League West when theyvisit the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.


The Diamondbacks pushed their lead in the division to two gamesover the Dodgers on Friday with a 1-0 victory. Doug Davispitched eight scoreless innings and Chris Synder provided thewinning margin with a solo blast in the eighth inning.

The San Diego Padres (58-50) are now in between Arizona and theDodgers, 1 1/2 games out of the lead in the West.


The Diamondbacks will hand the ball to Livan Hernandez (6-7,4.98 ERA). The veteran righthander won for the first time innearly two months on July 24, but could not keep the momentumgoing, giving up eight runs and eight hits in four innings in a14-0 rout against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.


The Dodgers will counter with Derek Lowe (8-9, 3.45), who willbe making his first start since being forced to leave in thefourth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Houston Astros due to a groinstrain.


Lowe has not earned a win since June 22 at the Tampa Bay BayDevil Rays - a span of six starts. He is just 2-5 with a 4.62ERA in 10 career starts against Arizona.


The Dodgers have dropped seven of their last nine contests.
