targeting ejection, junior safety Josh Liddell matched his career

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.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas coach Bret Bielema all but issued a direct challenge following a 49-30 loss to No. 1 Alabama, a game in which the Razorbacks allowed an average of 10.1 yards per play.If I have to get more involved, I have to get more involved, Bielema said. I just believe weve got to come up and play a lot faster and a lot better in all phases on defense.It was a challenge Arkansas (5-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) answered in a 34-30 win over No. 23 Mississippi on Saturday, putting together its best all-around defensive performance of the season while winning its third straight over the Rebels.The 17th-ranked Razorbacks held an Ole Miss offense that had topped 500 yards in each of its previous three times to 403, a much-more manageable 5.8 yards per play than a week earlier against the Crimson Tide.They also held All-SEC quarterback Chad Kelly to 18-of-39 passing for 253 yards, thanks in large part to a season-high seven pass breakups. It was the first time the senior has completed less than 50 percent of his passes in a game during his two seasons at Ole Miss.Arkansas safety Santos Ramirez had one of those breakups, as well as forcing a Kelly fumble during a late-game, fourth-down scramble to secure the win.People doubted us after the Alabama loss, but we came back ready to work, Ramirez said. Now theres some big momentum for us going into Aubburn.ddddddddddddith the Razorbacks now focused on this weeks trip to No. 21 Auburn (4-2, 2-1), Bielema somewhat backed off his perceived challenge of a week ago. He made it clear on Monday that he had no additional input on the defensive play-calling than any other week.I didnt have that intention, Bielema said. I knew we were a good football team; I knew we had to play better.Whatever the intent of Bielemas challenge, it worked. And it did so with second-leading tackler Dre Greenlaw out 4-6 weeks with a right foot injury. Without the sophomore linebacker, and junior safety DeAndre Coley out for much of the second half against the Rebels following a targeting ejection, junior safety Josh Liddell matched his career high with nine tackles.Liddell was one of several defensive standouts in the game for the Razorbacks, along with Ramirez, who added a one-handed interception to go with his game-clinching forced fumble.Now its up to Arkansas to keep its defensive momentum going this week at Auburn, this time without its head coach issuing any public ultimatums.When you just keep grinding like that and guys are working together as a team, thats when you get results that come out in your favor, Arkansas defensive coordinator Robb Smith said.
