The Arizona Diamondbacks have the Colorado Rockies number right now as once again they beat the Rockies.  The Diamondbacks did have to hang on in the late innings however as the Rockies made a nice comeback but still feel short by one run as the Diamondbacks won 4-3.

Micah Owings pitched six innings of shutout baseball to get the win.  He only allowed five hits in his six innings of action and he lowered his era to 3.81.  Owings is now 5-1 on the season.

Things got a little messy in the Diamondbacks bullpen as Chad Qualls, Doug Slaten, and Tony Pena all gave up one run in relief.  Brandon Lyon was able to come into the game in the ninth inning and secure the game as he picked up his 11th save of the season.  Lyon did have some trouble as well as he gave up two hits, but he got out of the jam unlike the other three relief pitchers.

Orlando Hudson led the Diamondbacks with a two run double in the fifth inning.  Conor Jackson had a rbi single as well for the D-backs.  The other run came off a double play by Eric Byrnes so no rbi was awarded.
