Once again Brandon Webb was a dominate pitcher for the Diamondbacks as he improved to 4-0 on the season.  Webb pitched eight strong innings and only gave up the one earned run.  Webb only gave up three hits on the day and struckout five batters while walking two.

Brandon Lyon closed the game out in the ninth inning to pick up his third save of the season.

At the plate for the Diamondbacks it was actually Webb who led the team in RBI as he had a two-run single in the second inning of the game.  Eric Byrnes had one RBI on a ground rule double in the fifth inning and then Orlando Hudson scored Chris Young in the fifth inning on a single to center.

The Diamondbacks will open up a series with the San Diego Padres on Friday.  Big divisional gams coming up, it will be fun to see how they do against the Padres.
