Brandon Webb is on fire!  Webb is now 9-0 after beating the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night.  Webb gave up six hits and three runs over 7 1/3 innings but it was good enough to still get the victory as the Diamondbacks won 8-5.

Doug Slaten, Chad Qualls, Brandon Medders, and Brandon Lyon all pitched in relief of Webb.  Medders had some trouble as he gave up two runs, but then Lyon came in to get the save.  Lyon is now up to 12 saves on the season.

Chris Snyder had the big hit for the Diamondbacks as he hit a three run home run in the fifth inning.  Snyder led the D-backs with three rbi in the game.  Orlando Hudson and Justin Upton both had two rbi.  Stephen Drew made the rbi column as well as he had one rbi.

The Diamondbacks are now 26-15 in the season as they are playing really good baseball.  They will try to continue playing good this weekend as they play the struggling Detroit Tigers.

Max Scherzer didn’t have the outing that he was hoping for as he was roughed up for five runs in only four innings of action.  Only two of the five runs were earned however.  Scherzer was filling in for Doug Davis who is expected to be back in the next week or so.  This could have been Scherzer’s only start since Davis will soon be back.

Scherzer wasn’t the only Diamondbacks pitcher to struggle as Edgar Gonzalez gave up four runs, Brandon Medders and Doug Slaten gave up a run each as well.

Chris Snyder and Stephen Drew were the only Diamondback players to record an RBI in the game.  Snyder hit a solo home run in the seventh inning and Drew had a RBI triple in the second inning.

The Diamondbacks are still playing good baseball, and I look for them to bounce back and beat the Phillies on Tuesday.

The Arizona Diamondbacks lost 9-4 on Sunday against the San Diego Padres putting the Diamondbacks at 13-5 for the year.  Arizona is off to a good start leading the National League West but the Rockies are close on their tale and if they want to hold that spot, they can’t be getting beat by the Padres.

Randy Johnson opened up the night for the Diamondbacks pitching for five and two-thirds innings giving up six hits and six runs putting him at 0-1 on the season after taking the loss.  Brandon Medders, Doug Slaten, and Tony Pena were all brought in to try and seize the win but were unsuccessful.  Slaten and Pena both gave up runs in their action.

Chris Burke, Mark Reynolds, Robby Hammock, and Augie Ojeda all picked up and RBI for the night.

The Diamondbacks will welcome the Giants to Arizona for a two game series on Monday night.  Who do you think will come out on top of this one?  I think the Diamondbacks will win both games of the series.
