ARLINGTON http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-tomlin-jersey , Texas (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have scored more runs in the first inning this season than any team in baseball.After Paul Goldschmidt’s 27th homer in the first put the NL West-leaders ahead to stay, the Diamondbacks tacked on enough runs to back All-Star lefty Patrick Corbin’s seven strong innings in a 6-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.“To get a couple of runs there and get the lead and add on some runs, it’s huge, just get a good feeling going in the dugout,” Corbin said.Arizona led 1-0 before Corbin (10-4) threw the first of his 96 pitches — 66 of them strikes as he struck out seven without a walk.“Pretty challenging for us tonight,” Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. “The slider was a pretty dynamic pitch for him.”Corbin, who had never faced Texas before, has made 10 consecutive starts without allowing a homer, the longest span for the Diamondbacks in 15 years and matching Boston’s Chris Sale for the longest active streak in the majors.“He has a really innate quality to locate balls at the bottom of the zone,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “You come to this ballpark, you wonder often what are going to be the conditions, and the ball does fly out of here. … Patrick did a great job, exceptional job of keeping the ball down out of trouble.” Goldschmidt went deep to left in the first with a solo shot off Yovani Gallardo (7-2). Arizona led 4-0 in the fourth after Daniel Descalso had an RBI double and scored on a wild pitch. Descalso earlier had an RBI groundout.

But he was done after 3 1/3 innings, the shortest of his 10 starts since re-joining Texas.“Just couldn’t put guys away,” Gallardo said. “The main thing for me was to stay positive and get back on track.”Gallardo walked three batters, and 35 of his 76 pitches were balls.Jurickson Profar had a sacrifice fly for Texas before an RBI double to end his 0-for-15 slide .Brad Boxberger worked the ninth for his 27th save in 32 chances, despite giving up a leadoff triple to Profar before a sac fly by Robinson Chirinos. It was only the fourth time in Boxberger’s 45 appearances this season that the first batter he faced got a hit.THE PLAYER TO BE NAMED LATERThe Rangers acquired minor league OF Alexander Ovalles from the Cubs on Tuesday, completing the July 27 trade that sent lefty Cole Hamels to Chicago for RHPs Eddie Butler and Rollie Lacy and a player to be named later.

LOS ANGELES (AP) It took 56 years for Dodger Stadium to see a game like this.Cody Bellinger hit a grand slam, Joc Pederson and Yasiel Puig hit two homers each, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 21-5 on Thursday night.Brian Dozier and Justin Turner also went deep as Los Angeles finished with its highest scoring total at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers hit a season high-tying seven homers, and also set season highs for runs in a game, and in an inning when they had nine in the seventh.”That is more indicative of our club offensively,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. ”You’re going to have spells where you don’t have hits and there will be bad at-bats when guys pitch well, but the last couple of nights http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-carlos-lee-jersey , with a walk-off win (Wednesday), that can give you a shot in the arm and hopefully it continues.”Clayton Kershaw (5-5) gave up two runs and five hits over six innings, winning his second consecutive start.

It was his second grand slam this season and third of his two-year career.”It was fun,” Bellinger said. ”You never expect to score that many runs, but when you do J.R. Richard Jersey , you just try to take advantage of it at the plate and I think we did a good job of that today.”Chacin (10-4) gave up nine runs and five hits with four walks over 4 1/3 innings. It was the right-hander’s worst outing since giving up eight runs over 4 1/3 innings June 24 at home against the St. Louis Cardinals.”They have a good lineup,” Chacin said. ”I feel like they always have a good lineup and they have good guys like (Manny) Machado and Dozier. They’re going to be the team to beat in the National League and hopefully we play against them again.”Infielder Hernan Perez and catcher Erik Kratz each made his third appearance on the mound for the Brewers.Pederson started the Dodgers’ home-run binge when he led off the game with a drive deep into the seats in right field. It was the seventh leadoff home run of his career, with four of those coming this year. He added a three-run shot in the seventh to give him 16 on the season.Puig had a solo shot down the left-field line in the fourth inning and a two-run shot in the seventh to give him 14 on the season.
