D-backs get huge effort from Unit in win

Like the saying goes in baseball, hit 'em where they ain't. And Randy Johnson was fortunate enough that the Cubs didn't take that advice last night. They hit some unbelievable rockets off of Johnson, but only two of them found holes in the seven innings of shutout ball that he threw, as the D-backs squeaked by the Cubs 2-0.

Cubs starter Rich Harden was royally screwed - he threw seven innings as well, and only gave up a single hit, which happened to be a solo homer from Alex Romero, his first major league dinger. He had a no-hitter going until Romero hit that shot in the sixth.

Micah Owings came in and did a nice job in the eighth - I fully expect not to see him back in the starting rotation the rest of the year. He really is a better relief guy - his mentality and makeup are really better suited in that spot. And Chad Qualls did a high wire act in the ninth, but just enough to get it done. Big time win for the D-backs.

Yusmeiro Petit going tonight..I've got a good feeling about it - the Cubs are struggling at the plate right now, and Petit is no slouch...I can see him filling Owings' slot the rest of the year possibly.
