Webb goes for 10th straight win in South Beach Wed May 21 10:37:04 2008 EST
(Sports Network) - Right-hander Brandon Webb tries to do something that hasn't been done in 23 years tonight when the Arizona Diamondbacks visit Dolphin Stadium for the middle test of a three-game set with the Florida Marlins. Webb has won nine straight starts to begin 2008 and can become the first pitcher to win 10 straight at the outset of a season since San Diego's Andy Hawkins did so in 1985. The eighth-round draft choice of the Diamondbacks in 2000 was an 18-game winner last season, and go

e sixth inning proved to be the difference in the second installment of a three- game series at Petco Park, as San Diego snuck past the St. Louis Cardinals with a much-needed 3-2 victory. San Diego, already 12 games back of the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West, snapped a three-game losing streak as its bullpen combined to throw four innings of scoreless ball. Bryan Corey (1-0) picked up the win after blanking St. Louis for two frames in relief. Starter Greg Maddux did

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Closer Kevin Gregg came on with the bases loaded and one out in the eighth and Florida nursing a one-run lead, and recorded the last five outs of the Marlins' 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the opener of a three-game set. Gregg's eighth save of the season nailed down the win for Mark Hendrickson (6-2), who held the Diamondbacks to four hits and one run with seven strikeouts and a walk, but lasted only five innings. Dan Uggla went 2-for-3 with a solo home r
Owings tries to string back-to-back wins together in South Beach Tue May 20 10:40:57 2008 EST
(Sports Network) - Right-hander Micah Owings can make it two straight wins tonight when the Arizona Diamondbacks head east to Dolphin Stadium to open a three-game series with the host Florida Marlins. Owings was 4-0 with a no-decision in five starts in April, but had opened May with a loss and a no-decision before rebounding with a strong effort against Colorado on May 14. In that game, the 6-foot-5, 220-pounder allowed five hits and recorded five strikeouts in six scoreless innings of what wou

Cook will face his biggest test of the season on Thursday against Arizona Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb. Webb is an impressive 8-0 through his first eight starts of the season. Even though the team has struggled mightily this season, Cook has been much like Andy Dufresne from the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption.' Dufresne cr

(Sports Network) - Brandon Webb will try to put together the best start to a season in franchise history tonight, as he leads the Arizona Diamondbacks against the Colorado Rockies in the finale of a three-game set at Chase Field. Webb has won all eight of his starts this year -- the first to do so in the National League since Pedro Martinez in 1997 -- and has a 2.41 earned run average on the season. It marks his best start since also beginning the 2006 season with a franchise-record 8-0 mark, t

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Micah Owings tossed six scoreless innings, and Orlando Hudson went 2-for-4 with two runs batted in to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Owings (5-1) gave up only five hits and two walks while striking out five for the Diamondbacks, who have won the first two contests of this three-game set after being swept in a three-game series at Chicago.

Cubs send clear message with sweep Mon May 12 17:12:38 2008 EST
(Sports Network) - It's not too often when a major league baseball team circles its calendars in early May, but you can bet the Chicago Cubs had a little extra motivation for their recent series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Not only did Arizona bring the majors' best overall record into Wrigley Field this past weekend, but this was the same team that ended Chicago's promising 2007 campaign with a one-sided sweep during last October's National League Division Series. And with the Cubs entering
