Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
PHOENIX, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Nathan Eovaldi fired five efficient innings in his major league debut Saturday, pacing the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-3 victory over Arizona.
Eovaldi (1-0), 21, stifled the Diamondbacks on two runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking two.
The right-hander, an 11th-round Dodgers draft pick in 2008, made the start in place of rookie Rubby De La Rosa, who is expected to have Tommy John surgery next week.
Rod Barajas went 3-for-4 and knocked in two runs while Andre Ethier added two hits for the Dodgers, winners of four of their last five.
Arizona's Joe Saunders (8-9) couldn't give the D-backs the boost they needed to move into a first-place tie atop the National League West with the San Francisco Giants, who lost Saturday to Philadelphia.
Saunders yielded four runs on eight hits while fanning four and walking one, but went 2-for-2 with two RBI.
