Another good series

Another series win, and the Diamondbacks looked pretty good today. Webb didn't seem to have his best stuff from my seat/computer speaker, with a number of walks, but he was good enough to pick up his 4th win of the season to no losses. Can't argue too much with that. The offense also decided today that they don't *always* have to go for the late inning rally. Once the Giants got a run in the fourth, we had some nice two-out shenanigans against Tomko that proved to be more than enough for the win. The bullpen gave us some nice support again, with three innings of scoreless pitching, including Valverde giving us his Brandon Webb impersonation. He faced six batters, struck out one, and had the other five ground out.

If I had any requests (other than more wins), I'd have to say that a little more offense would be nice. We put together ten hits, but six of those came in the fourth. Gonzo had a good game, going 3-4 with a run and an RBI. So a few more hits from the rest of the team would be nice. But, if this is how you guys are going to win, I won't complain too much. Just keep it up.

Tomorrow, we face the Pirates. They're currently trailing in the 8th, in what would be their fifth loss in six games. They're last in the league in runs scored (79) and well back of the second to last place team, Cleveland, with 95. Four game series, at home, we should be looking pretty good.

Edit: After I wrote this, the Pirates went on to score 5 runs in the last three innings to win 6-4, taking the win away from Roger Clemens. So, good for them! I'm always in favor of Roger Clemens losing.

Meanwhile, in Tampa, Sean Henn, Randy Johnson's replacement in this game, gave up six runs (five earned) in two-and-a-third innings. Given that Hideo Nomo gave up 5 runs to the Yankees before getting pulled in the fifth, you know Randy's fuming if he thinks he's ready to pitch.
