The Diamondbacks got off to a rough start as the hitters were held in check by the Rockies’ pitchers and the offense could manage just a single run. Eric Byrnes double home Stephen Drew in the first inning to give the Diamondbacks their first and only lead of the game. Just two innings later, Brandon Webb had been tagged for four runs and the game was essentially out of reach because some top notch Rockies’ pitching.
Byrnes was the only hitter with two hits. Chris Young reached base twice with a pair of walks and Webb took the loss with the four runs in six innings. Juan Cruz gave up an unearned run in the eighth inning but that proved to be just an add on.
Doug Davis will try to right the ship tonight. I like the start time better. I’ll be able to get home from work and catch the entire game.
