Webb's scoreless streak ends, but Diamondbacks still edge Brewers

<h3>ARIZONA 3, MILWAUKEE 2</h3>PHOENIX (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers may have put an endto Brandon Webb's scoreless streak, but they could not stop hisdominance.


Webb pitched seven stellar innings as the Arizona Diamondbackssnapped a three-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Brewers onWednesday in the finale of a three-game series.


Prince Fielder's RBI single with one out in the first inningended Webb's 42-inning scoreless streak and gave the Brewers a1-0 advantage.


The Diamondbacks ace hurled his third straight shutout on Fridayand stretched his scoreless streak to 42 innings, tossing atwo-hitter in a 4-0 triumph over the Atlanta Braves.

Webb (14-8) became the first pitcher since Orel Hershiser in1988 to go at least 40 innings without giving up a run and justthe 21st pitcher in baseball history to reach the mark.

The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, who has wonhis last six starts, started his streak after not allowing a runin the final inning of his July 20 start against the ChicagoCubs, a 6-2 loss.


The Brewers ended the suspense early when Gabe Gross led off thegame with a single to right-center. Gross then stole secondand advanced to third on former Diamondback Craig Counsell'sgroundout, setting the stage for Fielder to deliver a base hitto left.


Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin played the infield in in anattempt to try and prevent the run.


After the run scored, the Diamondbacks fans gave Webb a standingovation.


The 28-year-old Webb surrendered just two runs and five hitswith a walk and five strikeouts.


Arizona took the lead for good in the seventh after Stephen Drewand Chris Snyder hit back-to-back singles off Brewers starterJeff Suppan (8-11). Former Brewer Jeff Cirillo followed with ahard smash down the first base line.


First baseman Fielder made a diving stop by the foul line andstepped on the bag, but Drew beat the throw home to make it 3-2.

Brandon Lyon retired the side in order in the eighth and JoseValverde pitched a scoreless ninth for his major league-leading40th save this season.


The Diamondbacks took a 2-1 advantage in the bottom of thefirst. Chris Young blasted his seventh leadoff homer of theseason and Orlando Hudson, who followed with a triple, scored onTony Clark's sacrifice fly.


The Brewers tied the game at 2-2 when Counsell hit an RBI doubleto right field in the sixth.


Suppan pitched eight innings, surrendering three runs and sevenhits.

 

Webb's scoreless streak ends, but Diamondbacks still edge Brewers

<h3>ARIZONA 3, MILWAUKEE 2</h3>PHOENIX (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Brewers may have put anend to Brandon Webb's scoreless streak, but they could not stophis dominance.


Webb pitched seven stellar innings as the Arizona Diamondbackssnapped a three-game skid with a 3-2 victory over the Brewers onWednesday in the finale of a three-game series.


Prince Fielder's RBI single with one out in the first inningended Webb's 42-inning scoreless streak and gave the Brewers a1-0 advantage.


"To be honest with you, with the attention it was getting, whenit happened in the first inning I was pretty relieved," Webbsaid. "It was good streak when it was happening, amazing to me,but then I felt (I had to) go out there and get a win."

The Diamondbacks ace hurled his third straight shutout on Fridayand stretched his scoreless streak to 42 innings, tossing atwo-hitter in a 4-0 triumph over the Atlanta Braves.

Webb (14-8) became the first pitcher since Orel Hershiser in1988 to go at least 40 innings without giving up a run and justthe 21st pitcher in baseball history to reach the mark.

"It was a streak that was amazing to me that I was able to dothat," Webb said. "The highs and lows that came with it havebeen fantastic. It has been like a no-hitter. I had greatplays behind me that kept it going. The names that have beenmentioned, being in that company is unbelievable. To have myname thrown out with those spectacular players has been anhonor."


The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, who has wonhis last six starts, started his streak after not allowing a runin the final inning of his July 20 start against the ChicagoCubs, a 6-2 loss.


"There are so many easy ways for a run to get on the board, ittakes some luck, but also takes a lot of skill," Diamondbacksmanager Bob Melvin said. "His skill level through 42 innings islike nothing I have ever seen before."


The Brewers ended the suspense early when Gabe Gross led off thegame with a single to right-center. Gross then stole secondand advanced to third on former Diamondback Craig Counsell'sgroundout, setting the stage for Fielder to deliver a base hitto left.


"Of course everybody knew about his streak, but I was justtrying to get the guy in," Fielder said. "I wasn't trying to dotoo much. You are going to try and turn your game up with aguy like that anyway and he had 42 scoreless, so yeah, of courseyou are going to try and bear down and get him."


Melvin played the infield in in an attempt to try and preventthe run.

First baseman Fielder made a diving stop by the foul line andstepped on the bag, but Drew beat the throw home to make it 3-2.

"After I tagged the bag, I knew that I probably didn't have ashot at home because (Drew) is pretty fast," Fielder said. "Ifit was hit right at me, I would have gone home or at leastchecked the runner."


"It would have been nice if that ball went down the line, but itis still a win," Cirillo said. "It was a big win for us goinginto the off-day, and it was a win that was needed."
