<h3>Webb, Diamondbacks try to stop skid, face Reds</h3>

Arizona (47-41) at Cincinnati (34-52), 7:10 pm EDT

CINCINNATI (Ticker) - The Arizona Diamondbacks turn to BrandonWebb to end a minor skid.

Webb and the Diamondbacks hope to avoid their fourth straightloss when they face the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday.

Arizona lost, 8-1, to Cincinnati on Friday to drop its thirdstraight game. Micah Owings and two relievers were tagged forthree homers, including a three-run blast to Ken Griffey Jr. Itwas the 586th for the future Hall of Famer, who tied FrankRobinson for sixth place on the all-time list.

The Diamondbacks turn to Webb (8-6, 3.27 ERA) to halt the slide.The 2006 Cy Young Award Winner allowed more than three runsfor the first time in eight starts when the righthandersurrendered five runs and seven hits in six-plus innings in an11-3 loss to St. Louis on Monday.

However, Webb is 4-2 with a 2.50 ERA in seven career startsversus the Reds, including a complete-game 3-0 shutout on May26, 2006, his last meeting vs. them.

Cincinnati counters with rookie Homer Bailey (2-2, 8.10).

Bailey (2-2, 8.10 ERA) was called up from Class AAA Louisvilleon June 8 and went 2-0 in his first three starts. Since then,however, the 21-year old righthander has suffered back-to-backdefeats, including giving up seven runs over 3 2/3 innings in an11-7 loss to St. Louis on Sunday.

In facing Arizona, Bailey will try to lead Cincinnati to itsfirst three-game winning streak since May 28-30.
