Aaron Hill HR Not Enough as Reeling Diamondbacks Fall to Dodgers
With a struggling offense and hope on the horizon, the Arizona Diamondbacks swung into Chavez Ravine on Monday night searching for a kickstart to what has been a dreadful run-scoring effort as of late. Starting pitcher Ian Kennedy did his part, but the only offense the team could muster was a solo home run by Aaron Hill in yet another defeat, this time by a margin of 3-1 against...

D-backs having trouble finding their swing
PHOENIX A glass-half-full guy might conclude that the Diamondbacks are in an OK place right now because they are conforming to their 2011 pace.
Manager Kirk Gibson is not willing to go that far, even if the D-backs' 15-20 record resembles their 15-22 start last season.
But that is about where the similarity ends, he said.
"We are not playing good baseball," Gibson...

Miguel Montero was 17. Every major-league club but one already had rejected him. He was ready to quit baseball, finish high school and go study mechanical engineering in college.
The Arizona Diamondbacks were his last hope.
