D-backs dodge Braves' rally to rise in West

PHOENIX -- Kevin Gausman has been one of this year's most valuable Trade Deadline acquisitions and he has the potential to continue pitching like a front-line starter for the Braves the remainder of the season. But his recent run of good fortune was halted as he was hit hard and often during Friday night's 5-3 loss to the D-backs at Chase Field.

As Gausman allowed four earned runs and seven hits over just 4 2/3 innings, D-backs starter Patrick Corbin cruised through six innings that were tarnished by just one run. Johan Camargo recorded three extra-base hits, including a double that fueled a two-run eighth.
