The Diamondbacks were poised to take the second game of the series by a score of 5-1, but they were snakebitten by the Dodgers five run ninth inning that left the Diamondbacks at a loss for explanations. After almost blowing a late game lead the previous night, Brandon Lyon recorded his fifth blown save of the year in the ninth.
Lyon was charged with five earned runs allowed on five hits in just .2 innings. Starter Brandon Webb was left with a no decision despite going eight incredibly strong innings in which he allowed just one run on six hits. He struck out four and walked three.
The Dodgers had six hits in the ninth, four in a row with two outs, that scored the runs to take the win.
Stephen Drew had a 4-5 day at the plate, including a triple and almost had an inside the park homer but was thrown out on the attempt.
James Loney had three hits for the Dodgers.
