06/02/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Garret Anderson's two-out single in the 14th inning scored Matt Kemp, as the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Arizona Diamondbacks, 1-0, to complete a three-game series sweep.
Jamey Carroll had three of the Dodgers' seven hits and also added a stolen base. Los Angeles has won four straight and six of eight overall. The Dodgers have won seven in a row and 11 of the last 13 against Arizona. LA swept all three games from the Diamondbacks in Arizona from May 10-12.
Travis Schlichting (1-0) was making his first appearance of the season and third of his career and picked up his first big league victory after pitching four innings of three-hit ball. Starter Carlos Monasterios tossed five innings of two-hit ball with three strikeouts and did not issue a walk.
Stephen Drew and Justin Upton each had a pair of hits for Arizona, which has now gone scoreless for 31 consecutive innings and have lost 10 consecutive games for the first time since a 14-game slide from July 9-25, 2004. The Diamondbacks went winless in their nine-game road trip.
The Diamondbacks Cesar Valdez (1-2) was saddled with the loss for giving up the lone run on three hits with one walk and a strikeout in 1 2/3 innings of work.
Edwin Jackson got the starting nod and put out a valiant effort, but did not earn a decision. The right-hander went nine innings, allowing three hits and as many walks with six strikeouts. He threw 123 pitches -- 80 for strikes.
In the home 14th, Kemp led off with a base hit and made it to third on a wild pitch and groundout. Anderson then lined a 2-2 fastball that was trapped by a diving Chris Young in center, allowing Kemp to come in with the winning run.
Starting pitching combined to allow only three hits over the first five innings. Then both teams put their leadoff runner on in the seventh, but were unable to push anything across.
Each side stranded a runner in the eighth and the Dodgers turned to their loser Jonathan Broxton to work the top of the ninth. He gave up a one-out base hit to Drew before getting Upton to bounce into a 4-6-3 double play.
In the bottom portion, Arizona kept Jackson in, and he served up a single to Carroll, who got into scoring position with a steal of second. Kemp then walked, but Andre Either lined out to first to send the game into extra innings.
Adam LaRoche led off the 10th with a single off Ronald Belisario and was taken out for pinch-runner Augie Ojeda, who advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Rusty Ryal. However, the next two hitters grounded out.
Aaron Heilman, fresh out of the Diamondbacks' bullpen in the bottom of the 10th, was greeted with a leadoff double by James Loney. Anderson went down on strikes and Ronnie Belliard worked a walk. However, pinch-hitter's Rafael Furcal and Russell Martin both popped up within the infield.
The D-Backs squandered a first-and-second opportunity with one out in the 14th to stretch their scoreless streak to 31 innings.

Oddsmakers have released the odds for the 2009 AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and Seattle Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry has been made the opening favorite.
Seattle took Curry with the fourth overall pick in April's NFL draft and plan on inserting him into its starting lineup right away. The Hawks traded linebacker Julian Peterson in the offseason, so Curry is expected to have a significant role in Seattle's defense next year and that's one of the primary reasons he is the favorite to win the NFL ROY Award.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook MySportsbook.com have made Curry a 5/1 favorite to win this year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Award. Given that he was the best defensive prospect in this year's draft and how he'll have plenty of opportunities to make plays in '09, Curry offers a ton of value at 5/1.
Another thing working for Curry is the position he plays. A linebacker has won the defensive ROY award six straight times and eight of the last nine years. Jerod Mayo, Patrick Willis, DeMeco Ryans, Shawne Merriman, Jonathan Vilma, Terrell Suggs, Kendrell Bell and Brian Urlacher were the most recent linebackers to take home the award.
Following Curry at 5/1 are Tyson Jackson (Chiefs) at 7/1, James Laurinaitas (Rams) at 8/1, Brian Orakpo (Redskins) at 10/1, Rey Maualuga (Bengals) at 10/1 and Jerry Peria (Falcons) at 10/1.
All the players mentioned above are expected to start for their respective teams, but Jackson and Peria are going to have a tough time being recognized on a national level given they're both defensive linemen. D-linemen rarely put up the numbers that it takes to win an individual award like the ROY.
A couple of players with some value are Clay Matthews (Packers) at 12/1 and Larry English (Chargers) at 15/1. Matthews is expected to start at outside linebacker in Green Bay's new 3-4 defense and could rack up a ton of tackles. English, who was an impressive player at Northern Illinois, is expected to be a situational pass rusher for the Chargers and could rack up a ton of sacks.
