The Arizona Diamondbacks made a seven-run lead stand up this time.

One run would have been enough with All-Star Dan Haren on the mound.

Haren threw his second career shutout, and Felipe Lopez hit a three-run homer as the Diamondbacks routed the Florida Marlins 8-0 on Friday night.

One night after blowing a seven-run lead - the biggest collapse in team history - the Diamondbacks jumped to a 7-0 fourth-inning margin on Florida starter Ricky Nolasco (6-7), who lost for the first time since June 7.
