The Diamondbacks reached Dodgers starter Brad Penny (13-3)early. In the second inning, 19-year-old rookie Justin Uptonlaced an RBI double to left and Chris Snyder lofted a sacrificefly for a 2-0 advantage.


Conor Jackson delivered a fourth-inning leadoff double and laterscored on Mark Reynold's run-scoring single as Arizona createda 3-0 bulge.

Webb extends his scoreless streak to 24 innings

<h3>ARIZONA 3, LA DODGERS 0</h3>LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Ace Brandon Webb continues to keep runsoff the board.


Webb recorded his first shutout of the season as the ArizonaDiamondbacks finished a weekend series sweep over the LosAngeles Dodgers, 3-0, on Sunday.


The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner yielded justseven hits with four strikeouts to extend his scoreless inningsteak to 24 - a span of three games and one frame - and secondcomplete game of the season and 10th career.


"I knew coming into this season that not many pitchers win theCy Young every year, so I just wanted to pitch my game thisyear," Webb said.


Webb threw 102 pitches against 34 batters - with 14 of his outscoming on groundballs.


On May 11, Webb limited the Houston Astros to one run and sixhits with 10 strikeouts for his first complete game win thisseason at Minute Maid Park.


"He's (Webb) got it going right now and throwing all of hispitches for strikes," Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin said. "Itwas an easy decision for me to let him go out in ninth andfinish it up for us."


Prior to the 28-year-old righthander's surge, Webb (11-8)struggled through four outings, going 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA fromJuly 2-20.


"Everything has been falling into place for me lately and I havebeen throwing good," Webb said. "I just keep going out thereand try to put up zeros as long as I can."


The Diamondbacks reached Dodgers starter Brad Penny (13-3)early. In the second inning, 19-year-old rookie Justin Uptonlaced an RBI double to left and Chris Snyder lofted a sacrificefly for a 2-0 advantage.


"We know that we have to do the little things against a goodpitcher like Penny," Snyder said. "It feels good to come out ofhere with the sweep and to win five of six games on our roadtrip."


Conor Jackson delivered a fourth-inning leadoff double and laterscored on Mark Reynold's run-scoring single as Arizona createda 3-0 bulge.


The Diamondbacks have won 13 of their last 15 games overall topush their advantage in the NL West to 1 1/2 games ahead of SanDiego (60-50).
