    Clayton Kershaw(Below) gave up consecutive hits to open the game, then became visibly angry after walking opposing pitcher Joe Saunders in the third inning.

    After another hit and a walk in the inning, the Los Angeles ace settled down nicely and retired his final 14 batters to help the Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 Friday night.

    Kershaw allowed three hits over seven innings and Rod Barajas(Above) snapped a scoreless tie in the fifth with a solo homer for the Dodgers, who won their third in a row and improved to 5-0 in one-run games at home.

    "Rod and I were on a good page. I don't think I shook him off at all," Kershaw said. "I'm glad I didn't give up any runs in those first three innings to give our team a chance."

    Arizona dropped its fifth straight, and set a franchise record with its last six losses by one run.
