Following the Bellinger first-inning at-bat, Godley settled in and retired the next nine batters. The Dodgers (13-17) snapped a four-game losing streak behind their beleaguered bullpen.

"It's play of the year up to this point, for me", Roberts said.

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo spent time Wednesday mulling over potential lineups for the time in the near future when Steven Souza and Jake Lamb return from the disabled list.

It all adds up to a potentially exciting season for the National League, especially if the Dodgers and Nationals don't rebound completely. "Hitting with men in scoring position is a very challenging situation in baseball, and we just unfortunately didn't do it today". "We are just trying to go out there and compete and give ourselves a chance to win games".

Arizona left-hander Patrick Corbin (4-0, 2.25 ERA) will oppose Dodgers left-hander Alex Wood (0-3, 4.11) Thursday afternoon.

"At the end of the year if it means something that we did this at the beginning of the year, I'll look back at it and think about it a little bit differently". Ryu issued five walks in that shaky outing but had been a completely different pitcher until the injury bug bit him in this game.

The thing is, most of those things are not falling into place. Dodgers shortstop Enrique Hernandez backhanded a sharp one-hopper by Pollock to start an inning-ending double play. He surrendered three runs on five hits and six walks against the Marlins.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Hill (finger) will likely miss another start or two beyond his originally scheduled outing Monday against the Diamondbacks, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports. It also would mean the likes of Alex Wood and Kenta Maeda would have to step up and be more than back-of-the-rotation arms.

This is a nice price on the Diamondbacks with Greinke toeing the rubber.

After Colts owner Jim Irsay said the team turned down trade offers for Luck, Ballard said the same, and he said he quickly cut off the conversation when he received calls wondering what it would take to pry Luck away from Indianapolis. He was to undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity of Wednesday's injury, and the team was unsure how long he might be sidelined. Verdugo had reached on a one-out double to left field, beating the shift, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Now he was awaiting a scan on the strained muscles in his left groin. All they've done is run out to a 17-11 start, while racking up the second-best batting average and run total through April 30.

Pollock finished 2-for-4; he has now reached base safely in 34 consecutive games against the Dodgers at Chase Field.

"It doesn't feel good", Ryu said through interpreter Bryan Lee (via the Los Angeles Times) after a 2-1 victory over Diamondbacks in Phoenix. Hyun-Jin Ryu the lefty will take the mound for the Dodgers tonight and he has solid numbers overall but his best work has come at home. He's 0-1 with five strikeouts and a 4.50 ERA against Arizona this year (three starts).
