LOS ANGELES -- Undone by another rocky start, Scott Kazmir refused to link his latest disappointment to his first-inning struggles earlier this season.I feel like Im past that, said Kazmir, who gave up two runs in the first, including Jean Seguras leadoff home run, and another in second Saturday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers lost 4-2 to the Arizona Diamondbacks.I dont think of it like, `Here we go again,the veteran left-hander said. Thats not a good way to approach it. Its unfortunate. Its frustrating for sure. Having to always work through that first inning to put yourself in a good position. Still confident out there.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.Segura led the Diamondacks out of the starting gate by hitting Kazmirs third pitch of the game over the fence for his fourth leadoff home run of the season.I felt like the first two pitches were nice and smooth, good direction, good delivery, and then I tried to overthrow that third one, Kazmir said. Not as sharp early, but once I made adjustments, use my cutter a lot more in the late innings I was able to get some quick outs.With a 3-0 lead, Braden Shipley settled into give the Diamondbacks six scoreless innings, and the Dodgers fell for only the second time in six games. They dropped two games behind division-leading San Francisco.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. He really pitched well out there.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.Shipley (1-1), Arizonas 2013 first-round draft pick, 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.I was just sticking with my plan, you know, staying down in the zone, using my sinker effectively, said Shipley, 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.Segura added an RBI double in the second, and is hitting .396 (19 for 48) over his last 12 games.Joc Pederson hit his 15th home run, and second in two nights, with two outs in the ninth inning for Los Angeles. 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.You never like losing, but offensively the scorecard doesnt really show the quality of our at-bats, said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. I think our guys competed, squared the baseball up, but didnt have a whole lot to show tonight.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.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Zach Greinke pitched three innings in a rehab start Friday night in an Arizona rookie league game interrupted by a thunderstorm. Greinke, who threw 52 pitches, is expected to make one more minor-league start before returning to the Diamondbacks in 10 days or so, said Manager Chip Hale. ... Arizona sent LHP Zac Curtis to Double-A and designated RHP Josh Collmenter and INF-OF Micahel Freeman for assignment on Saturday.Dodgers: Los Angeles will make a decision in the next few days whether to activate INF Kike Hernandez (left ribcage inflammation). ...
