| LOS ANGELES -- While the Los Angeles Dodgers chase down the San Francisco Giants for the top spot in the National League West, the Arizona Diamondbacks are sinking farther into the cellar.The Diamondbacks had to stomach another stinker Friday night at Dodger Stadium. Joc Pederson and Chase Utley homered to spark a five-run rally in the seventh inning and the Dodgers defeated the Diamondbacks 9-7 in a back-and-forth affair Friday night before 50,966.I dont think we were playing that way a month ago, said Pederson, who was 2-for-4 with a career-tying four RBI. Were coming up with a lot more clutch hits and we have a special thing going to get us through games late.Yasmani Grandals run-scoring single in the seventh was the difference as the Dodgers (58-45) came back from a four-run deficit to prevail. The win pushed Los Angeles (58-45) within a game of the National League West-leading Giants, who lost to the Washington Nationals.Every wins a big one but that was arguably the best of the year, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Were resilient.Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks (42-61) dropped 17 games back in the division and two behind the fourth-place San Diego Padres.Its unfortunate we didnt get the win (Friday) but we just got to come back and keep battling and hopefully we can scratch a couple (of win), Arizona right-hander Zack Godley, who started the game but didnt factor into the decision.Arizona will try to bounce back Saturday.The Diamondbacks will start Braden Shipley (0-1, 10.13 ERA) against Los Angeles lefty Scott Kazmir (9-3, 4.35 ERA). The Milwaukee Brewers tagged Shipley for six runs on eight hits in 5 1/3 innings in his major league debut and a 7-2 romp on July 25.In his last outing, Kazmir won his seventh straight decision in a in a 9-6 Dodgers decision over the St. Louis Cardinals on July 24. Kazmir allowed three runs on six hits in five innings. He struck out three and walked none.Kazmir hasnt faced the Diamondbacks since June 22, 2007 when he was with the Tampa Bay Rays. In that contest, Kazmir struck out eight, walked two and limited Arizona to a run on three hits in 7 2/3 innings and claimed the win in the Rays 4-1 victory.Arizonas Zac Curtis (0-1) allowed two runs and didnt retire a batter in Fridays debacle but he attempted to put a brave face on the rest of the series.Its just letting it go and move on, said Curtis, who suffered the loss in Fridays meltdown despite throwing only three pitches. Were just going to come out (Saturday) and fight. I know its hard right now because its a tough loss after coming out and scoring like that but well get past it.Added Diamondbacks catcher Wellington Castillo, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Friday night, We fight. We hit them, they hit us and they got the win, Castillo said. We kept competing. Christian McCaffrey Hoodie . Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. Cheap Panthers Hoodies Store .Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Doug Marrone has drawn on his Syracuse connections once again by hiring Rob Moore to take over as receivers coach. http://www.cheappanthershoodiesjerseys.com/ . Ferrer, trying to win his fourth title on Mexican soil, will next play South Africas Kevin Anderson, who eliminated American Sam Querrey,7-6 (2), 6-4. Also Wednesday, Gilles Simon (6) of France beat Donald Young of the United States 6-4, 6-3, Ukraines Alexandr Dolgopolov downed Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3, 6-4 and Croatias Ivo Karlovic defeated Dudi Sela of Israel 7-6 (4), 6-2. Jermaine Carter Jr. Hoodie . Tevez, who has had conflicts with coaches in the past, has not been called up since Sabella was named coach in 2011. Argentina boasts Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Angel Di Maria. Andre Smith Hoodie . Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. The C-word - chokers - used to be South African crickets least favourite topic of discussion but these days its the T-word as well. The two T-words. Transformation. Targets.Even before they were officially re-introduced in September, those words sparked serious interrogation over whether sport has the responsibility to make amends for the social costs of South Africas segregated past, whether enough opportunity was afforded to all and why the national team had such a vastly different demographic make-up to the actual nation.But South Africa are not alone in debating diversity. Australia, a country with a culture that seems built on winning at all costs, is also tackling the issue and for Usman Khawaja, they still have a way to go.Australia is an extremely multicultural place, especially where I grew up in western Sydney, Khawaja said. Id love to see players from all different backgrounds come and represent Australia and I think you will see more and more of that.Khawaja is what South Africans would call the only player of colour in the current Australia squad and remembers a time when he felt like the only one on the circuit. When I first started playing first-class cricket, I am pretty positive I was the only coloured person in the whole system and now you see it a lot more, he said.He expects that increased immigration will change that, albeit not immediately. Australia is still a fairly young nation in terms of multi-culturalism and immigration, particularly towards people from Africa and the subcontinent coming over. Its still first or second generation, he said. I expect that to happen but it will need a little bit of time.I have no doubt there will be some new faces coming into the team in the next 10 or 15 years but they will obviously have to earn their stripes. We already see it through young development players and players coming through first-class cricket.The brothers Ashton and Wes Agar, Gurinder Sandhu, Fawad Ahmed, Arjun Nair and Clive Rose are a few examples but so far none of them have broken through to quite the same degree as Khawaja. That may make him a flagbearer of sorts but he does not see it as giving him the same responsibility as that carried by someone like Makhaya Ntini, South Africas first black African player or Temba Bavuma, the first black Afrrican batsman to play Test cricket.dddddddddddd Both those men are regarded as role models for the majority population group, who have long played cricket but have often been denied access to circumstances that could encourage them to excel.I have never seen it that way, Khawaja said. There is a little bit more emphasis on trying to get people from different backgrounds involved in cricket and to make it a national sport. I think you can aid that process but you cant artificially manufacture it.Ultimately, that has been the biggest question around South Africas transformation policy: whether merit would be sacrificed to support change, whether that would be justified, and even whether the suggestion of that was insulting to those whom the policy would benefit. The answers remain unclear to everyone, including Khawaja, although he has made an effort to delve deeper into it.I talked to a couple of the South African players, I talked to Hashim about it and he has explained to me from a South African point of view, Khawaja said. I can totally understand both sides of the spectrum. Its a complicated issue.Its one of those things where you would love to see South Africans come through to Test cricket and just pick the best team and not have to worry about any of the external factors and hopefully in a few years time, that will be the case. But its also a very young nation in terms of where it has been and where it is now in terms of Apartheid so you have to take that into consideration.South Africa themselves are starting not to separate the need for transformation with the desire for success. After they blanked Australia 5-0 in the ODIs, Faf du Plessis told fans they can calm down about the so-called quotas because South Africa have proved they can win with a transformed team.In that series, South Africa met their targets but bigger challenges await. South Africa have yet to play a Test under the new policy and have yet to go a whole summer with it in place. The real results can only be measured once they do. Until then, they may take some comfort from knowing other places are grappling with similar ideas and the goal of inclusion is not theirs alone.
