NL: CHICAGO CUBS (0-1) at ARIZONA (1-0) <h3>Lilly, Cubs aim to even NLDS vs. Diamondbacks</h3> <div class="pre">Chicago Cubs at Arizona 10:07 pm EDT</div><div class="pre">National League Division Series Game Two</div> PHOENIX (Ticker) -- The Arizona Diamondbacks showcased theirpitching staff in Game One. Now it's up to the Chicago Cubs toreturn the favor. The Cubs will aim to bounce back against the Diamondbacks inGame Two of their National League Division Series on Thursday. In Wednesday's series opener, rookie Mark Reynolds hit thego-ahead home run in the seventh inning and reigning NL Cy YoungAward winner Brandon Webb pitched seven strong innings in a 3-1triumph. "It is always nice to get the first one," Arizona manager BobMelvin said. "You have your ace on the mound. You expect towin that game, especially at home. It's a game that there wasprobably a little more pressure on us to win than them. "Very exciting, the most exciting game I've pitched so far (inmy career)," Webb said. "I kept them off-balance and guys playedgreat defense behind me. ... I had to grind it out. I gave upa leadoff double a couple of times and just had to bare down." Righthander Brandon Lyon tossed a perfect eighth and closer JoseValverde worked around a two-out walk to log the save forArizona, which limited Chicago to just four hits. Chicago's Ted Lilly looks to take the spotlight from Arizona'srotation as he goes to the mound with the hopes of tying theseries. He is coming off his second consecutive 15-win campaign- 15-8 with a 3.83 ERA in 34 starts - but has struggled whenfacing the Diamondbacks. Lilly is 0-2 with a 3.38 ERA in four career appearance againstArizona, which got a two-run homer from Connor Jackson to beatthe lefthander here on August 25. "One of our goals was to get to the postseason, and we've donethat, and now it's time to just lay it all out there and getafter it," Lilly said. Doug Davis gets the call for the Diamondbacks. The 32-year-oldhas been one of the major contributors to the team's drive tothe postseason, going 8-2 in 15 starts following the All-Starbreak. However, Davis was winless in his last four outings inthe regular season. Despite his recent woes, the southpaw struck out eight battersin seven frames to defeat Lilly and the Cubs on August 25.Davis is 7-5 with a 3.39 ERA in 13 lifetime starts vs. Chicago. If the Cubs hope to avoid falling behind 0-2, it needs AlfonsoSoriano, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez to forget their dismal1-for-9 combined performance in the opener. The series will shift to the Windy City on Saturday for GameThree with Rich Hill taking the hill for the Cubs, while theDiamondbacks counter with Livan Hernandez.
