From Rotoworld: Godley allowed three runs and two hits over seven innings Wednesday in a loss to the Cardinals. Godley retired the first nine batters and the final seven batters he faced tonight. However, both hits he allowed came in the fourth and he mixed in two walks and a HBP, leading to a three-run inning and, later, his second loss in 10 starts. He’ll face the Dodgers next time out.
Wood moved to 9-0 after allowing one run and two hits over six innings against the Padres on Friday. Wood made just four starts in June, so he won’t be in the running to win a second straight NL Pitcher of the Month award. Still, he came back strong from his brief stay in the DL, going 3-0 with a 2.10 ERA for the month.
Bet Tonight’s Diamondbacks vs. Dodgers Game

On the other side, the Diamondbacks are 1-5 in their last six road games versus a left-handed starter, are 21-45 in their last 66 games against the Dodgers, and have dropped 25 on their last 32 games in Los Angeles.
