LOS ANGELES(AP) -- Ned Colletti didn't see much of the game.

The Dodgers' general manager was too busy wheeling and dealing
to set his lineup for postseason play, making moves that
overshadowed Los Angeles' 5-3 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks
in 10 innings Monday night.

The Dodgers acquired first baseman Jim Thome from the Chicago
White Sox and right-hander Jon Garland from Arizona in separate
trades announced late in the game.

Los Angeles received cash considerations and gave up minor
league infielder Justin Fuller for Thome, who has 23 homers and
74 RBIs this season.

The Dodgers will get a player to be named for Garland, who is
8-11 with a 4.28 ERA. Thome and Garland were signed before the
midnight EDT deadline, making them eligible for postseason play,
something they weren't likely to see with their previous clubs.

Thome went from a third-place team trailing Detroit and
Minnesota in the AL Central Division to the NL West-leading
Dodgers. Garland made out even better, leaving the D'backs, who
trail the Dodgers by 18 games in the NL West.

"You're always trying to improve the club," Colletti said. "I've
been trying to get a starting pitcher for a while. We were able
to land George Sherrill at the July 31 deadline, but I thought
we need another starting pitcher, which is what Jon Garland
gives us."

After the game, Garland made what he called a "definitely weird"
walk from the visitors' clubhouse to the Dodgers' room. He was
scheduled to pitch the series finale against the Dodgers on
Thursday.

"It's definitely a team I've always wanted to pitch for," said
Garland, who was born in the northern suburb of Valencia and
went to high school in nearby Granada Hills. "This is where the
dream started for me."

D'backs pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre said Garland thanked him
for their short time together before departing.

"Jon was a pro," he said. "He went about his business in a
first-class manner."

Dodgers manager Joe Torre said he planned to talk to Garland
about starting on Thursday in place of knuckleballer Charlie
Haeger.

"Jon Garland is going to get the ball every five days and if we
have six starters, so be it," Torre said. "It has made us
stronger. We have some threat off the bench now, and with
Garland, we have someone who knows how to pitch."

The trades gave the Dodgers reason to be happy, something the
game didn't do.

Rusty Ryal homered to lead off the 10th, putting Arizona on
track for its fifth consecutive victory.

Esmerling Vasquez (3-2) got the win with one strikeout in 1 1-3
innings of relief. Juan Gutierrez earned his second save.

James McDonald (4-4) took the loss, allowing two runs and two
hits in one inning. He struck out one and walked two, including
a bases-loaded walk with two out in the 10th.

Arizona took a 2-0 lead with two outs in the second on Augie
Ojeda's double over left fielder Manny Ramirez's head, scoring
Miguel Montero and Chris Young, who had back-to-back singles.

The Dodgers got a run back in the bottom of the inning on Ronnie
Belliard's homer off an 0-2 pitch from Doug Davis. Belliard
started at second base in his Los Angeles debut a day after
coming from Washington in a trade for minor league right-hander
Luis Garcia.

Ramirez and Matt Kemp hit back-to-back homers in the sixth,
giving the Dodgers a 3-2 lead. Ramirez sent the first pitch from
Davis just over the wall in right center. Kemp followed with his
22nd homer over the center field wall.

Justin Upton tied the game at 3, hitting his 23rd homer off a
3-2 pitch from Los Angeles reliever George Sherrill with one out
in the eighth.

Los Angeles starter Randy Wolf allowed two runs and six hits in
six innings, struck out seven and walked two.

Davis gave up three runs and five hits in six innings, struck
out and walked two.

Russell Martin went 1 for 5 as the Dodgers' leadoff hitter in a
lineup juggled by Torre to give Rafael Furcal, Orlando Hudson
and James Loney a night off, although Loney and Furcal entered
the game late.

NOTES: The Dodgers became the first major league team to reach
the 3 million mark in attendance, with 3,004,726 through 66 home
games. It's the 14th consecutive season they've reached that
plateau. ... Stottlemyre said Garland's departure opens up a
chance for right-hander Billy Buckner to join the starting
rotation. Buckner was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Monday when
RHP Chad Qualls went on 60-day DL with dislocated left kneecap.
... Wolf was left sitting on 99 wins. ... The Dodgers ended
August with a 14-15 mark, their first losing record in any month
this season. They haven't had a winning August since 2006.
