LOS ANGELES -- Rookie Braden Shipley proved he is one quick learner.Arizonas 2013 first-round draft pick turned his second career start into his first major league victory with six scoreless innings Saturday night as the Diamondbacks beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2.I was just sticking with my plan, you know, staying down in the zone, using my sinker effectively, said Braden, who got 11 ground-ball outs five days after surrendering three home runs in his major league debut. Thats kind of what I knew that I had to do coming into the night. Just work down in the zone, and mix pitches, and use that sinker.Shipley (1-1) held the Dodgers to five hits in his second career start as the Diamondbacks won for only the third time in 11 games. He struck out four and walked one.Obvioulsy, a lot of ground-ball outs, so hes getting the ball down. His ball had some movement downward, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. Curveball looked good. Changeup was better than it was the first night, and he just located the fastball.Jean Segura led the Diamondbacks out of the gate with a leadoff homer and Arizona had a 2-0 lead before Shipley took the hill.Segura hit Scott Kazmirs third pitch of the game over the left-field fence for his fourth leadoff home run of the season.

Hes done a really nice job for us.Kazmir (9-4) gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. The left-hander entered the game as the National Leagues only undefeated pitcher -- minimum of 10 starts -- since May 14, going 7-0 with a 3.73 ERA in 13 starts.We just let this one slip away, Kazmir said. Giving up three early in the same, really setting the tone. Shipley, he was great out there. You have to tip your cap to him.Joc Pederson hit his 15th home run, and second in two nights, with two outs in the ninth inning for Los Angeles, which lost for the second time in six games.The Dodgers fell two games behind division-leading San Francisco. Los Angeles went 17-9 from June 26 through Friday night, and had cut the Giants division lead from 6 1/2 games to one since the All Star break.Brandon Drury singled home Phil Gosselin with two outs in the seventh for Arizonas final run. Gosselin had been called out stretching a single into a double, but the Diamondbacks challenged the call and it was overturned after a 1-minute, 27-second review.Jake Barrett got the final four outs for his third save.Chris Owings broke out of a 2-for-22 slump by flaring an RBI single to the opposite field in the second for Arizona, which came into the game with a NL-leading .277 batting average against left-handed pitching.Scott Van Slykes RBI single scored Andrew Toles, who walked and took second base on a passed ball, made the score 4-1 in the seventh.Corey Seager drilled his 30th double of the season with two outs in the third, tying the Dodgers rookie record for doubles set by Eric Karros in 1992.Shipley went 8-5 with a 3.69 ERA in 19 starts at Triple-A Reno before being called up.

Lewis Hamilton will not be fined for the comments he made directly after his retirement at the Malaysian Grand Prix, something Niki Lauda thinks were fully acceptable in the heat of the moment.Hamiltons hopes of a fourth world title were dealt a major blow in Sepang as his engine failed while he led the race 16 laps from the chequered flag. The reigning world champion caused a stir directly after the race by telling TV reporters something does not feel right with his numerous engine problems this year, adding that he felt someone did not want him to win.Speaking several hours later at his print media session Hamilton clarified his remarks, saying he has 100 percent faith in Mercedes and that he was referring to a higher power. Lauda, the teams non-executive chairman, has no problem with what Hamilton originally told the media.?He will not be fined, I can tell you that, Lauda said. If a driver is upset ... Ive beenn upset a couple of times in my racing career and I said some rubbish to.dddddddddddd I dont want to say he said rubbish, but these things can happen, the emotion.

The retirement, coupled with Nico Rosbergs third-place finish, means Hamilton trails his teammate by 23 points with five races remaining.? ' ' '
