PHOENIX -- Chris Taylor has been a spot starter at best in his young major league career, and hed never had anything like the night he had on Friday.Taylor, acquired in a trade with Seattle a month ago, fell a single shy of the cycle, and Bud Norris finally beat Arizona in the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-7 victory over the Diamondbacks.Taylor, a utility infielder recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on June 25, tripled in the fourth, doubled in the fifth and hit a grand slam in the sixth, his first career home run. He was out on a bunt in the eighth.It was a really a fun night, he said, a night Ill always remember.Norris (5-7) was 0-7 with a 13.92 ERA in his career against the Diamondbacks entering the game, but ended the drought with the help of the Dodgers season-high 18 hits. Norris went five innings, allowing five runs and eight hits.Its a tough place to pitch, he said. I personally have struggled here a few times, so I just wanted to go as deep as I could, kind of just leave all my pitches out there.Arizonas Patrick Corbin (4-8) lasted four innings, giving up seven runs and seven hits.The biggest thing for me is not getting ahead like I have in the past, he said. It is leading to walks and hitters counts. It is something I need to get better on.The Diamondbacks took a 3-2 lead with three runs in the third, two on Michael Bourns triple, only to give it up in the Dodgers five-run fourth, with two scoring on Taylors triple. Yasiel Puig singled in two more before being thrown out trying to stretch it into a double.Los Angeles loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth. Silvino Bracho struck out the next two but Taylor hit one into the seats beyond left field and the Dodgers led 12-4.In the eighth, needing only a single, Taylor chose to lay down a bunt and was thrown out by the pitcher.I thought it was a good time, the situation, he said. They had the third baseman back and its always been a part of my game, regardless of the hits (I had). I think you put me in that situation again Im still going to try it. Its something I take pride in.The Dodgers led 12-7 at the time, not usually a situation that calls for a bunt, but manager Dave Roberts backed up Taylors decision.When youre trying to win a game here in this ballpark youve got to play by different rules, Roberts said. Its almost like you cant score enough. So I thought it was a very heady play. If it was executed a little bit better he would have hit for the cycle.Eight Dodgers have hit for the cycle, only two since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958: Wes Parker in 1970 and Orlando Hudson in 2009.Third baseman Jake Lambs two errors in the third led to an unearned Los Angeles run.The Diamondbacks fell to 15-33 at home.KERSHAW CLOSERDodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is inching closer to a return.Kershaw, sidelined since June 27 with a mild disk herniation, will throw a simulated game in Los Angeles on Saturday. Roberts said Kershaw will throw 60 pitches.Before he was hurt, Kershaw, as usual, was one of the games best pitchers, going 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA.TRAINERS ROOMDodgers: Roberts said a bone scan Friday of OF Andre Ethiers right tibia showed the fracture has not completely healed but its healed enough that Andre, to his tolerance, can continue to progress with baseball activity. Roberts said the Dodgers will ramp him up and see where it takes us. LHP Alex Wood (posterior elbow) will pitch in the same simulated game as Kershaw.Diamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke (strained oblique) played catch Thursday night, the first time hes done so since the injury.UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Brandon McCarthy (2-0, 2.70 ERA) makes his third start since coming back from Tommy John surgery, facing his former team for the first time.Diamondbacks: RHP Archie Bradley (3-5, 4.64), coming off a strong but losing effort against San Francisco, makes the start for Arizona in the second game of the three-game series. Since being recalled from Triple-A Reno on May 29, Bradley ranks fourth in the NL in strikeouts.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Brandon Phillips grabbed the bouncing ball with his bare hand, tagged second base with his left knee as he fell and threw to first to complete a double play that immediately drew raves. Might have saved the game, too. Phillips homered and made the spectacular play to protect the lead in the seventh inning Friday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He drove in a pair of runs with a single and a homer, but it was that unusual play on Ryan Brauns hard-to-handle grounder up the middle with two runners aboard in the seventh that had everyone talking -- and the Brewers talking to themselves. "Phillips -- weve seen him make some great plays," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "I didnt think Braun was going to hit into a double play, and Phillips makes another highlight play." Phillips had an RBI single off Yovani Gallardo (3-2) and added a solo homer in the seventh after making a saving play in the top of the inning on Brauns grounder. "I made a nice play, I dont know how," Phillips said. "I gambled on it. I took a chance on making it without my glove, and I made the play. "I practice the short hops, but Ive never had a bag to worry about. Ive touched the bag with my knees plenty of times." This time, he may have changed the outcome of a game with one knee. "Thats the best double play Ive seen from a second baseman," manager Dusty Baker said. "That was a game-saver, too. If he doesnt turn it, we could be in trouble. They had some dangerous guys coming up." The Reds won for the fifth time in seven games. Cincinnati is 14-6 at Great American Ball Park, the most home wins in the majors and its best start at home since the Reds went 15-5 in 1994. Milwaukee got solo homers from Jean Segura and Braun, but lost for the seventh time in eight games. Alfredo Simon (3-1) threw two innings in relief of rookie left-hander Tony Cingrani. Aroldis Chapman gave up a run on a wild pitch in the ninth while getting his eighth save in as many chances. Carlos Gomez went 0 for 4 and grounded into a double play, ending his hitting streak at a career-best 14 games. Neither Galllardo nor Cingrani lasted more than four innings on a wet night, testing both bullpens depth.dddddddddddd. Both were stingy, but Cincinnatis had a one-run lead to hold. Reds relievers allowed three hits and four walks in five innings. The Brewers gave up eight hits and nine walks. The Reds pulled ahead 2-0 in the third on Phillips two-out RBI single and Jay Bruces double off the glove of Norichika Aoki in right field. Bruce improved to .419 against Gallardo. Zack Cozarts RBI single in the fourth put the Reds up 3-2. Gallardo gave up five hits and five walks in his four innings, throwing 100 pitches. "Normally I try to take something positive out of every one I have, but theres nothing to take out of this one," Gallardo said. Cingrani has relied on his fastball to retire batters, getting a lot of strikeouts while piling up high pitch counts. Hes also given up a lot of homers -- six in five starts, tied with Bronson Arroyo for the team lead. Segura led off the fourth with a homer that barely eluded the top of Bruces glove in right field and bounced off the top of the wall before continuing into the stands. Braun also homered to right field on the next pitch, giving him eight overall and a season-high 11-game hitting streak. Cingrani lasted only four innings, giving up five hits and two walks while throwing 85 pitches. It was the third time in the Reds last four games that their starter lasted five innings or less. The Reds activated catcher Ryan Hanigan off the disabled list before the series opener. Hanigan, the Reds best defensive catcher, had been sidelined since April 21 by a strained left oblique. Hanigan had a pair of singles and made a diving catch behind the plate on Seguras sacrifice bunt attempt. NOTES: Steady rain fell through the early innings. ....
