Diamondbacks, Dodgers battle for NL West lead

Jul 18, 2008 - 10:10 AM LA Dodgers (46-49) at Arizona (47-48), 9:40 pm EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- National League West supremacy is on the line when the Arizona Diamondbacks host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday.

Despite a sub-.500 record, the Diamondbacks hold a one-game edge over the Dodgers. Arizona owned the best record in the majors after the first month of the season, but has gone 27-40 since.

Los Angeles had a golden opportunity to take over the top spot before the All-Star break but lost three of four to the Florida Marlins.

The Dodgers hope righthander Hiroki Kuroda (5-6, 3.43 ERA) can pull them even.

After tossing 16 scoreless frames in his previous two starts, Kuroda did not receive a decision in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Marlins. He gave up three runs and seven hits with five strikeouts.

Arizona will counter with lefthander Doug Davis (3-4, 3.80). The 32-year-old Davis has one win since May 23, posting a 1-3 record with a 4.14 ERA in nine starts over that stretch.
