Webb good, but Marlins edge out D-backs once again

For Brandon Webb, being out pitched by Ricky Nolasco was something slightly on the improbable side. Webb pitched well enough to win for sure, going seven innings and only giving up three runs on six hits. All and all a very solid outing. Nolasco on the other hand only gave up three hits and one run in his seven innings. Three hits off of Ricky Nolasco. I'm actually not surprised at all. Once again the D-backs have trouble hitting guys that haven't seen a lot. Nolasco actually faced Arizona two years ago with similar results. In that game he went 7 1/3 and gave up three runs in his victory.

It was a good thing that Stephen Drew showed up yesterday, going 3-for-4 with a solo shot off of Nolasco (watch the homer here) in the fourth. Other than Drew, only one other Diamondback hit from Chris Snyder.

So, 10-0 not meant to be I guess. Not a problem. Myself and every other D-backs fan will take 9-1 in a heartbeat. Webby will get 'em next time...that is if the offense helps out his cause.

The Dodgers won yesterday as well, so the NL West lead is now down to three games. Arizona looks to not be swept today as the 5-2 Dan Haren takes on 3-3 Andrew Miller from Florida.
