D-Backs rough up Lilly, snap Dodgers' streak May 24th 2012, 05:24 Thu May 24, 2012 1:24am EDT (Reuters) - The Arizona Diamondbacks hammered Los Angeles starter Ted Lilly for eight runs in an 11-4 rout to spoil his unbeaten start to the season and snap the Dodgers' six-game winning streak. The 36-year-old Lilly, who entered the night 5-0 for the best start of his career, lasted just 3 1/3 innings as Arizona batters feasted on his pitches in front of their home crowd to avoid being swept in the finale of the three-game series. The Diamondbacks (20-25) jumped out with five runs in the first three innings, then scored three more in the fourth where Lilly departed trailing 8-1. Justin Upton smacked a two-run home run in the fifth to give Arizona a commanding 11-1 lead and send them on their way to victory. Arizona starter Joe Saunders allowed four runs, including three in the seventh, over 6 1/3 innings to record the win. Despite having their win streak halted, Los Angeles (30-14) still lead the National League West by seven games even while playing without injured All Star Matt Kemp.
