The Diamondbacks scored two late runs and they got a really nice start by Brandon Webb to take game one of their series over the Cubs. Webb held to the Cubs to just a run on four hits in seven solid innings of work. He walked three and struck out nine en route to the win. Brandon Lyon and Jose Valverde closed out the game with a shutout inning a piece to finish off the Cubs.
Stephen Drew belted a solo homer in the fourth inning to put the the Diamondbacks on the board but it wasn’t until the seventh inning when the Diamondbacks scored their winning run. Mark Reynolds belted a lead off solo homer to give the Diamondbacks the winning run while Connor Jackson drove home Chris Snyder with a sac. fly gave the Diamondbacks an insurance run.
Game two is tonight. Doug Davis gets the start and he’ll go up against Ted Lilly.
