Brandon Webb must have forgotten what it feels like to lose, or he just did not like the feeling. After winning again on Tuesday 5-4, his record now stands at 5-0 for the season. He is the first to 5 wins among all MLB pitchers.
Webb got hit around a little bit early, giving up three runs in the first two innings, but shut down the Giants offense after that point. Despite giving up 9 hits in 6.0 innings, he managed to leave many of those runners on the bases. He also struck out 7 opposed to walking two.
The Diamondbacks were badly out hit in the game 13-6 by the Giants, but strung together their hits to score 5 runs. Webb helped himself out with a run and two RBI’s. Chris Snyder also had two RBI’s.
Fred Lewis had three hits for the Giants continuing a solid series. Randy Winn and John Bowker each had two hits in the game as well.
Barry Zito dropped to 0-5 for the season with a loss Tuesday. He lasted just 3.2 innings giving up all 5 runs on six hits and two walks. The huge off-season acquisition from last year has yet to pan out in a Giants uniform.
Brandon Lyon picked up his fifth save of the season in the ballgame working a scoreless ninth with two K’s. The win gave the Diamondbacks the series sweep.
