The Diamondbacks were down for the first time in this series in the second inning of last night’s game after Doug Davis was touched up for two runs. That deficit was short lived though because the Diamondbacks stormed back in the bottom half of the frame with four runs of their own. Chris Young put the Diamondbacks on the board in a big way with a three run blast and Eric Byrnes tripled home Stephen Drew in the inning. After that, the Diamondbacks never looked back.
Young had just the one hit but he walked twice and finished with two runs. Stephen Drew also had a solid day at the plate and he went two for five with two RBIs and a run.
Doug Davis was hardly awesome, but he was good enough to pick up the win. He gave up four runs on five hits and four walks with eight strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. Jose Valverde struck out the side in the ninth as he closed out the game.
The series shifts back to Chicago tomorrow and it’d be nice if the Diamondbacks could finish things up. It’ll be Livan Hernandez against Rich Hill.
