BALTIMORE -- The Arizona Diamondbacks got another encouraging start from one of their young pitchers.The offense, however, came up short once again.Hyun Soo Kim hit his fifth home run, a two-run shot in the second inning off Braden Shipley, and the Baltimore Orioles completed a three-game sweep of Arizona with a 2-1 victory Sunday.The Diamondbacks scored just four runs over the weekend. 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. Bundy hasnt gone past the sixth inning in his past six starts.Zach Britton picked up his American League-leading 46th save in as many chances. Manny Machado went 2 for 4 for his team-high 54th multi-hit game.The Orioles took a 2-0 lead on Kims drive off Shipley. 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.

Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. When it comes to our personal top 10 lists for our All-Time #MLBRank 100 project, there have been some good ones. David Schoenfield, Buster Olney and Jerry Crasnick picked Willie Mays as No. 1 in their all-time top 10s. Jayson Stark went with the Bambino.There are five names that have popped up on every top 10 list: Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Babe Ruth and Ted Williams. And, no surprise, theyre on mine. But I do have one name on my list that no one else has. Without further hesitation, heres my all-time Top 10 list.10. Walter JohnsonThe greatest pitcher ever: 417 wins, 110 shutouts, a 2.17 ERA. I am a little biased. I went to Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda, Maryland.9. Ty CobbThe all-time leader in batting average, an extra-base hit machine and the greatest base stealer the game had seen for nearly 50 years.8. Stan MusialHe won three MVPs, had four second-place MVP finishes and is the most underrated superstar in the games history.7. Mickey MantleIn his prime years, he was as good, if not better, than Willie Mays. His career was shortened by injuries, but hiss career was highlighted mostly by winning championships -- seven.dddddddddddd6. Barry BondsEarly in his career, Bonds was the games best player with his speed, power and defense. Later, as sluggers go, he was third only to Ruth and Williams.5. Hank AaronThe all-time leader in total bases and RBIs, he also was a top five defensive right fielder.4. Lou GehrigIf he hadnt fallen sick, he might be the record holder in runs scored, RBIs and who knows what else.3. Ted WilliamsThe second-greatest hitter ever. If it werent for his military service, which was exceptional and heroic, he might have been the greatest.2. Willie MaysWhen he arrived in the big leagues in 1951, he was the greatest combination of power, speed and defense that the game had ever seen. And 65 years later, he still is.1. Babe RuthHes the greatest hitter ever. He was also the first to hit 30, 40, 50 and 60 homers in a season, and still has as many career shutouts (17) as Pedro Martinez. ' ' '
