Doug Davis who was making his last start before under going thyroid surgery, helped the Arizona Diamondbacks defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-5.  Davis pitched six innings, giving up six hits, and two earned runs.  He received a standing ovation as well as a curtain call after he left the game.

The Diamondbacks were led at the plate by Conor Jackson and Mark Reynolds who both batted in three RBI.  Orlando Hudson, Justin Upton, Doug Davis, and Alex Romero all chipped in with one RBI each as well.

It was awesome to see Davis pick up the win as he gets ready to go in for thyroid surgery.  He will be gone for about a month if everything goes as planned.  We wish him and his family the best.

The Arizona Diamondbacks dropped the series to the Cincinnati Reds after they lost 3-2 today.  The Diamondbacks are now 1-2 on the young season.  It was a great pitching performance by rookie Johnny Cueto that held the Diamondbacks back, as he struck out 10 batters, and was awesome all day long.

Doug Davis took the loss for the Diamondbacks.  He didn’t pitch badly, it was just that Cueto and the Reds were that much better today.

The only offense that Diamondbacks could come up with on Thursday was a homerun by Justin Upton.
