Reynolds, Snyder power Diamondbacks past Giants

<h3>ARIZONA 9, SAN FRANCISCO 4</h3>By Ryan Leong
PA SportsTicker Contributing Writer


SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) -- Mark Reynolds and Chris Snyder providedthe Arizona Diamondbacks with a little muscle to power theirway to a victory.


The duo hit back-to-back home runs in the second inning andConor Jackson had a two-run single in a four-run sixth as theDiamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants, 9-4, in the rubbergame of a three-game series.


Brandon Webb (16-10) threw seven solid innings to help Arizonaextend its lead over the San Diego Padres (78-66) to 3 1/2 gamesin the National League West.


The righthanded sinkerballer won his second straight start byretiring the first nine hitters he faced and throwing 53 of 74pitches for strikes.


Webb, who allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings, tiedhis win total from 2006 and is second to San Diego's Jake Peavy(17) in the National League in victories.


Arizona held a 3-2 into the sixth before exploding for fourruns. Augie Ojeda had an infield single and Webb reached whenBengie Molina failed to get Ojeda at second. Eric Byrnessingled to load the bases and, after a pitching change, JustinUpton hit the first pitch from Scott Munter just over the thirdbase bag for a two-run double and a 5-2 lead.


Jackson hit the very next pitch to left-center for a two-runsingle to stretch the lead to 7-2.


Reynolds and Snyder hit second-inning home runs off starterJonathan Sanchez to give Arizona an early 2-0 lead.

Arizona added to the lead in the fourth when Snyder was hit by apitch and singles by Stephen Drew and Ojeda loaded the bases.After a forceout at home, Byrnes delivered a sacrifice fly tomake the score 3-0.


The Giants answered back with two runs in the fourth. DaveRoberts led off the inning with a base hit to center. ChrisYoung had Roberts shaded to left-center and misplayed the ball,which rolled to the wall as Roberts wound up with a triple.

Nate Schierholtz took advantage of the opportunity, driving inRoberts with a single to right. Schierholtz stole second andadvanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Randy Winn. RayDurham's groundout scored Schierholtz to cut the lead to 3-2.

San Francisco scored two more runs in the sixth. Winn's doubledown the right field line brought home Schierholtz from firstbase, slicing the lead to 7-3. Winn advanced to third andscored on a groundout by Molina to make it 7-4.


Drew then put the game away with a two-run double to in theninth to cap the scoring.


Sanchez (1-4), a converted reliever, pitched only three innings,allowed five hits and three runs but struck out seven in alosing effort. Sanchez's last win in a starting role wasSeptember 6, 2006 vs. Cincinnati.

SAN FRANCISCO (Ticker) - Mark Reynolds and Chris Snyder providedthe Arizona Diamondbacks with a little muscle to power theirway to a victory.


The duo hit back-to-back home runs in the second inning andConor Jackson had a two-run single in a four-run sixth as theDiamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants, 9-4, in the rubbergame of a three-game series.


Brandon Webb (16-10) threw seven solid innings to help Arizonaextend its lead over the San Diego Padres (78-66) to 3 1/2 gamesin the National League West.


"Every win now is huge so when we can take the series and that'swhat we're trying to do, we're going to be just fine," Webbsaid.


The righthanded sinkerballer won his second straight start byretiring the first nine hitters he faced and throwing 53 of 74pitches for strikes and got 17 of his 19 outs on ground balls.The other two came on strikeouts.


"It went good and I felt as the game went on I was a little morecomfortable out there," Webb said. "I was getting ahead andthen throwing a quality pitch down in the zone and they groundedout almost every time."


Webb, who allowed four runs and four hits in seven innings, tiedhis win total from 2006 and is second to San Diego's Jake Peavy(17) in the National League in victories.


"Statistics-wise it looks just similar to last year," said Webb,who won the Cy Young Award in 2006. "It doesn't feel quite asgood. I'm right there with what I was doing last year and Iguess I try to set high expectations for myself after lastyear."


Arizona held a 3-2 into the sixth before exploding for fourruns. Augie Ojeda had an infield single and Webb reached whenBengie Molina failed to get Ojeda at second. Eric Byrnessingled to load the bases and, after a pitching change, JustinUpton hit the first pitch from Scott Munter just over the thirdbase bag for a two-run double and a 5-2 lead.


Jackson hit the very next pitch to left-center for a two-runsingle to stretch the lead to 7-2.


"Tonight to score some runs, which we haven't been doing a wholelot of especially early on and in the middle innings, is a goodfeeling going into an off-day and winning the series,"Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said.


Reynolds and Snyder hit second-inning home runs off starterJonathan Sanchez to give Arizona an early 2-0 lead.

"He left a changeup up in the zone and I was able to get a goodswing on it and able to get it up out of there and Snydes cameup right behind me and got us rolling right there," Reynoldssaid.


Arizona added to the lead in the fourth when Snyder was hit by apitch and singles by Stephen Drew and Ojeda loaded the bases.After a forceout at home, Byrnes delivered a sacrifice fly tomake the score 3-0.


The Giants answered back with two runs in the fourth. DaveRoberts led off the inning with a base hit to center. ChrisYoung had Roberts shaded to left-center and misplayed the ball,which rolled to the wall as Roberts wound up with a triple.

Nate Schierholtz took advantage of the opportunity, driving inRoberts with a single to right. Schierholtz stole second andadvanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Randy Winn. RayDurham's groundout scored Schierholtz to cut the lead to 3-2.

San Francisco scored two more runs in the sixth. Winn's doubledown the right field line brought home Schierholtz from firstbase, slicing the lead to 7-3. Winn advanced to third andscored on a groundout by Molina to make it 7-4.


"We finally got to (Webb)," Schierholtz said. "It took a coupleof at-bats each but we finally started to get a couple ofknocks here and there and a couple of things went our way and wegot back in the game. But we couldn't quite hold it, couldn'tget the hits at the end."


Drew then put the game away with a two-run double to in theninth to cap the scoring.


Sanchez (1-4), a converted reliever, pitched only three innings,allowed five hits and three runs but struck out seven in alosing effort. Sanchez's last win in a starting role wasSeptember 6, 2006 vs. Cincinnati.


"I was leaving pitches up and getting 3-2 on guys so that's whymy pitch count was up," Sanchez said. "The strikeouts don'tmean anything, they struck out themselves, I didn't do that."

"We're going to keep pushing here and try to finish strong,"manager Bruce Bochy said. "That's all we can do at this point."
