Infected by uncharacteristic wildness, Dodgers rookie Kenta Maeda resided on the precipice of danger throughout his five innings in a 3-2 victory. Maeda maintained his balance on the tightrope, interspersing fastballs outside the zone with sliders that evaded the bats of the Diamondbacks. For the second time in less than two weeks, Maeda (15-9, 3.24 earned-run average) opposed Zack Greinke and emerged with a victory. “I thought we did a good job that first inning, able to score a couple runs,” Utley said. “After that, Zack settled down a little bit, and he gave us a tough time.”Maeda wavered in the second inning.
