LOS ANGELES -- A black cowboy hat rested in Paul Goldschmidts locker, although he really was the good guy for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Goldschmidt homered twice, including a tie-breaking shot for the third straight game, in a 3-2 victory over the slumping Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night. He is batting .458 with four homers and 11 RBI in six games against the Dodgers so far this season. His first homer, a two-run shot in the sixth, came off Clayton Kershaw, ending a 1 for 16 showing against the Dodgers ace. "I knew my numbers werent good," Goldschmidt said. "You got to go up there and have good at-bats. He really doesnt make many mistakes. He mixes it up. Its not a guy youre going to get a lot of hits off of." Goldschmidt homered to left field in the eighth on a fastball from Kenley Jansen with two outs to snap a 2-all tie. It was the first multi-homer game of his career. "Obviously youre excited," he said. "I knew it was going to be close. I couldnt see it so I looked at the umpire and he said it was good." The D-backs completed a three-game sweep of the Dodgers, who have dropped a season-high seven straight games and committed three errors on Wednesday. "Im frustrated and I think the rest of the team is, too. Its no fun to come to the park and lose every single day," Kershaw said. "There are a lot of expectations of this team, and the talents there. Were just not winning games." Wade Miley (3-1) outlasted Kershaw in a matchup of two of the best left-handed starters in the NL over the past two seasons. Miley allowed two runs and seven hits in 7 2/3 innings -- his longest outing of the season -- struck out four and walked none to win for the first time since April 10. He worked quickly, with four 11-pitch innings. "Just quit thinking," Miley said of the adjustment he made. "I went after guys. I was able to have it in and out more than I had in the past. Everything had been going to the middle." Heath Bell pitched the ninth to earn his third save in four chances. He was called upon after closer J.J. Putz went on the 15-day DL earlier in the day with a strained right elbow that he hurt in the ninth on Tuesday. "J.J.s our closer," Bell said before the game. "Even if hes out for two weeks or three weeks, were just like a
