Arizona has been swept 13 times this season, including six on the road.It was a good game today, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. They were fighting their hearts out like some of the teams weve been playing and our guys matched it. Shipley made one bad pitch and they took advantage of it to get a two-run homer.Shipley (4-5) allowed two runs on four hits with six strikeouts over six innings in his 10th career start. Arizona was 1 for 7 with runners in scoring position.Orioles rookie Dylan Bundy (10-6) allowed a run on three hits with five strikeouts over five innings.

Shipley has given up 13 homers in 12 appearances this season.Thats on me, Shipley said. I take this loss on my shoulders. Im not always going to be perfect, obviously, thats how baseball is. (Kim) did a good job with it. I have to live with it.The Diamondbacks pulled within a run off Bundy in the third on an RBI single by Paul Goldschmidt. Baltimore reliever Mychal Givens entered in the sixth and held the Diamondbacks hitless over two innings.Its kind of frustrating late in the year, Arizona shortstop Chris Owings said. Shipley threw the ball really well today and its tough not getting some runs for him.Baltimore is 1 1/2 games ahead of Detroit for the second AL wild card and remained 1 1/2 games behind Toronto for the top spot. The Orioles begin a crucial three-game series at the Blue Jays on Tuesday.Weve been playing meaningful games in September for awhile now, so its not anything new to us, Britton said. Weve been to the postseason a few times now, so I think everyone knows how to treat these next few games. Just go out and be prepared but at the same time you cant press any more so than you would in the first month of the season.HITTING MACHINEDiamondbacks second baseman Jean Segura went 1 for 3 and has 193 hits on the season, most in the National League.

Youssef El Arabi had deservedly cancelled out Karim Benzemas first-half opener for Real before Modrics fantastic strike into the top corner five minutes from time kept Real just four points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona.Modric scored a great goal that has given us life and, above all, three points, said Zidane. I am happy for him because he has to shoot more. He knows how to play in many positions, including as a number 10. Today he showed he has a fantastic strike and I am happy with him.However, Madrid captain Sergio Ramos insisted the former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder deserves more praise even when he doesnt find the net. Modrics late winner saw Real Madrid beat a gutsy Granada side 2-1 on Sunday This goal maybe makes him a bit more visible, but, the way I see football, Modric is indispensable, said Ramos. Kylie Fitts Jersey. e is the spine of the team and very important player for us.Victory was Reals fourth in five games since Zidane took charge last month.However, in contrast to their emphatic at form at home of late, Real once again struggled on the road and were thankful to Granadas profligacy in front of goal.You also need to think that when we play away, we are playing against a team that has their fans behind them. It is normal that it is more difficult, added Zidane.I was most struck by the attitude of the players. There will be no easy games, those dont exist in football.You have to fight until the end and Im happy that is what we did.
