<div class="pre">Colorado (69-66) at Arizona (76-61) 4:40 pm EDT</div>

PHOENIX (Ticker) - The Arizona Diamondbacks look to build on anoffensive breakthrough in the rubber game of a three-game serieswith the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.


Arizona, which is in a virtual tie for first place in theNational League West with the San Diego Padres despite beingoutscored by 35 runs on the season, exploded for a seasonhigh-tying 13 runs on Saturday.


Tony Clark homered and tied a career high with five RBI as theDiamondbacks posted a 13-7 win to remain tied for first placewith the Padres (75-60). The Diamondbacks already matched lastseason's win total.


Brandon Webb (14-9, 2.83 ERA), who has not needed much runssupport, will try and bounce back from his worst start in overtwo months. The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner had won sixstraight before being pounded for six runs and seven hits in 51/3 innings of a 6-4 loss to San Diego on Tuesday.

Webb, who racked up 42 consecutive scoreless innings from theend of July to the middle of August, suffered his worst startsince allowing seven runs and six hits in five innings againstthe Baltimore Orioles on June 22.


Josh Fogg (7-9, 5.10) gets the ball for Colorado (69-66), whichtrails San Diego and Arizona by six games in the NL West.

Fogg, who is winless in his last three starts, allowed one runand three hits in six innings, but did not factor into a 4-1loss to the San Francisco Giants on Monday.
