LOS ANGELES -- After watching in horror as Alex Cora was taken from the field in an ambulance moments after Eric Gagne had blown a save, the Dodgers were literally outlasted by the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks Monday night in 12 innings, 6-3.

Cora suffered a concussion and was hospitalized for observation after he collided with Arizona shortstop Tony Womack while being thrown out attempting to steal second base in the bottom of the ninth inning. Cora had just walked in the midst of a perfect game at the plate, including a two-run homer off Curt Schilling and a pair of singles.

With pinch-hitter Jolbert Cabrera bunting through a Mike Fetters pitch, Cora took off for second. As he dived head-first toward the base, his forehead struck Womack's right knee. Cora initially reached for his head, then lay motionless on his stomach, his face in the dirt.

After being tended to by medical personnel, his head was immobilized and he was turned over onto a stabilization board, then lifted onto a gurney and placed in an ambulance. He was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital.

Cora's distraught wife, Nildamarie, made her way onto the field and was intercepted by disabled reliever Giovanni Carrara, who restrained her attempts to reach the ambulance and escorted her into the Dodger clubhouse.

Initial reports from team trainers had Cora suffering a concussion. He lost consciousness momentarily, but could move his feet and hands and was aware of his surroundings.

Womack walked off his injury and remained in the game, which resumed after a 12-minute delay.

Three innings later, the Diamondbacks scored three runs in the third inning of work by Guillermo Mota, promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day. Mota (1-2), who had never pitched longer than three innings in a Major League appearance, hit the wall in an 80-pitch marathon. Nonetheless, he finished the 12th, while Kazuhisa Ishii, who left Sunday's start after one inning, was warming up in the bullpen.

The Diamondbacks broke a 3-3 with Matt Williams' bases-loaded single, then Mark Grudzielanek bounced a throw past Paul Lo Duca for an error that allowed a second run and Chad Moeller singled in another. Byung-Hyun Kim got the win for Arizona.

It was a bitter loss in many ways for the Dodgers, who were one strike away from ending their nine-decision losing streak against Curt Schilling when Gagne, asked to get five outs, couldn't.

With two outs in the ninth and a 3-2 count, pinch-hitter David Dellucci drove a fastball into the left-center gap for a double that scored Steve Finley, who had singled.

Gagne made 33 pitches in his fourth blown save, but it was his second blown save in the Dodgers' last two games against Arizona. His July 3 blown save in Phoenix sent the Dodgers into a 4-13 tailspin.

Gagne was trying to protect a 3-2 lead and what would have been a win for former Diamondback pitcher Omar Daal.

The Dodgers scored a run off Schilling in the first inning on Dave Roberts' triple and a sacrifice fly by Paul Lo Duca. Cora added a two-run homer off Schilling in the fourth inning, the third home run of the year for Cora, who had struck out seven of the 12 times he faced Schilling going into the game.

But Arizona got close on Greg Colbrunn's two-out, two-run homer in the sixth, then had the tying run thrown out at the plate when Marquis Grissom gunned down Williams trying to score from second on a two-out single by Finley.
