    The Arizona Diamondbacks won a game despite getting one hit. They scored the only run they needed thanks to a pickoff throw to an uncovered base.

    They also needed a game-ending double play to lock down their bizarre, 1-0 win over the Los Dodgers on Saturday night.

    "This game sometimes is crazy," said Stephen Drew, whose leadoff double in the second inning was Arizona's only hit. "It's a big win for us. The past five days have been kind of frustrating, losing by one each time."

    Chad Billingsley (2-3) tried to pick off Drew at second base, but shortstop Jamey Carroll failed to cover the bag with the lefty-swinging Miguel Montero at the plate, and the ball rolled into center field as Drew barely beat Matt Kemp's throw to third.
