Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 2: Shipley rights the ship

Record: 43-61. Pace: 67-95. Change on 2015: -8.

When Jake Lamb went down for a few days in Milwaukee with a bruised left hand, the Diamondbacks were forced to alter the lineup to generate more offense and they moved Jean Segura to bat 3rd. Although he performed okay there, it sure is great having him hit leadoff.

Segura took the 3rd pitch of the game, a Scott Kazmir 0-2 fastball on the inside of the plate, over the left field fence to put the Dbacks ahead 1-0. Side note, Segura has 4 leadoff homeruns this year, tied for 3rd in the National League.
