PHOENIX -- Brock Stewart gets another chance.The Dodgers 24-year-old right hander is set to make his fifth start of the season Saturday when the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their road trip at the Arizona Diamondbacks.After two recent solid starts, Brock has earned the opportunity for another start, manager Dave Roberts said.Also, Stewart had been the designated backup, or long reliever in a couple recent games, but didnt have to be used, Roberts pointed out.Stewart (1-2, 6.55 ERA) replaces scheduled starter Bud Norris (6-10, 5.05). Stewart and Norris could be in the picture as long relievers in the postseason. The Dodgers top three postseason starters are expected to be Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill and Kenta Maeda.The final two spots in the rotation for the regular season may continue to be in flux on a team that has starters Scott Kazmir, Brett Anderson, Brandon McCarthy and Hyun-Jin Ryu on the disabled list.The Dodgers split the first eight games on their season-long 10-game road trip. They evened the series Friday night in a bit of a strange game in which they came up with only five hits while their pitchers issued seven walks. They won thanks to a pair of unearned runs.Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale lamented a botched double-play attempt. The Dodgers put two runners on base in the fourth when Adrian Gonzalez singled and Josh Reddick walked. Howie Kendrick hit a grounder to short, where Chris Owings retired Reddick on a force play, but second baseman Jean Segura threw the ball away attempting an inning-ending double play. Gonzalez scored, giving the Dodgers their second unearned run and a 3-1.Ultimately, this was the decisive run.Unfortunately, the run that cost us was throwing away on a double-play ball. You cant make those mistakes in a game like this, Hale said.Also, We left a lot of guys on base, Hale said. Eleven to be precise. The Dodgers stranded only five.The Dodgers used six relievers behind starter Kenta Maeda, who acknowledged he wasnt at his best.My command was off, Maeda said through his interpreter. I wasnt able to get into my groove. I put a lot of pressure on the position players to pick up the slack.We cant seem to solve him, Hale said of Maeda.It was a grind for him, Roberts said of Maeda. He still found a way, as he seemingly always does, to give us a chance to win. Thats a sign of a great competitor.Kenley Jansen gave up a triple to Chris Owings in the ninth. Owings scored on a sacrifice fly by Paul Goldschmidt, but Jansen got Jake Lamb to ground out to earn his career-best 45th save.Zach Greinke (12-7) took the loss for the Diamondbacks, though he only gave up only four hits and three runs (one earned) in six innings.The Dodgers are 11-6 vs. the D-backs this season and 39-16 since the start of 2014.
