The Dodgers continue to find ways to lose. Tonight it's a throwing error in the fifth by Nomar Garciaparra that allowed two unearned runs to score against Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda was on his way to a quality start, but instead only lasted through the fifth, leaving with his team behind, 4-2. Arizona has since opened things up to 8-3 in the eighth.
If LA loses this game, they'll have dropped eight straight heading into the final Sunday of August. They'll stand 4 1/2 games behind the first-place Diamondbacks having demoted 20-year-old savior starter Clayton Kershaw to the minors.
It's time to say these Dodgers are no longer on the playoff train. They just got hit by one in the desert.
