Brandon Webb was seemingly unbeatable for a nine game stretch to start the season. Then the Marlins got to him and beat him. Now the Braves got to Webb and put him on a two game losing streak.
Mark Teixeira put little doubt in the minds of anyone as to the outcome of the game. He drove in four runs in the first two innings and Brian McCann added a homer in the fifth to bolster the Braves offense. Webb had trouble getting anybody out for the Diamondbacks. In just 4.1 innings he was smashed for 10 hits and seven runs, only four of which were earned. He did strike out 8 in the game however.
Jair Jurrjens, arguably the Braves best pitcher this year, had an off game. He lasted just longer than Webb going 4.2 innings. He allowed the Diamondbacks eight hits and three runs, he struck out four in the game.
Orlando Hudson hit his fourth homer of the year for the Diamondbacks, a two run shot off Jurrjens. Chris Snyder and Stephen Drew each had two hits in the game, including a double each.
Chipper Jones had a hit for the Braves, keeping his league leading average at .416.
