The Arizona Diamondbacks once again found themselves fighting against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday -- albeit more in the metaphorical sense instead of the sort of mortal combat that ensued earlier this week -- as they battled against their NL West rivals at Chavez Ravine into the 12th inning for 6-4 win in the rubber game of an eventful three-game series.

Though there was nary any plunks or punches thrown last night by either the D-backs or Dodgers during the extra-innings contest, hits of a different sort were in abundance. Both teams combined for a total of 32 hits (20 for Arizona, 12 for L.A.) over the course of the four hour-plus affair.

Backed by ace pitcher Patrick Corbin -- who was 9-0 going into the game and attempting to nab his tenth win -- on the hill, the Diamondbacks got out to an early 3-0 advantage only to watch their opponents rally back a few innings later.

If there hasn't been a major boost in All-Star voting for Paul Goldschmidt after his epic hitting exploits this past week alone, it's something of a minor tragedy. The first baseman for the Arizona Diamondbacks has been on an absolute tear during the last five games, including blasting a grand slam last night during his team's 10-3 defeat of the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

Goldschmidt's bases-loaded knock (his second in the last week) came during the seventh inning against Cardinals reliever Maikel Cleto and helped the D-backs turn the tide in the contest and secured a win for Arizona starting pitcher Wade Miley, who picked up his fourth win of the season after 6.2 strong innings of work.

The Arizona Diamondbacks couldn't catch a break last night against the best team in baseball as they were trampled 7-1 by the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday evening at Busch Stadium. Inning by inning, members of the D-backs roster weren't able to get much going against Redbirds ace Lance Lynn (8-1, 2.76 ERA), who pitched seven merciless innings and struck out a half-dozen of Arizona's batters while only allowing a single run.

Conversely, Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill (3-5, 3.27) was in his own personal hell on the mound as he gave up nine hits and five runs -- including a homer to St. Louis' Yadier Molina -- through the fifth.
