NL: SAN DIEGO (76-61) at ARIZONA (76-63) <h3>Davis looks to continue second-half success vs. Padres</h3> San Diego (76-61) at Arizona (76-63) 9:40 pm EDT PHOENIX (Ticker) -- A start from the red-hot Doug Davis mightbe just what the doctor ordered for the struggling ArizonaDiamondbacks. Davis takes the hill Tuesday when the Diamondbacks continue tobattle the San Diego Padres for first place in the NationalLeague West Division. Davis (12-11, 4.09 ERA) has been among the best pitchers in theNL since the All-Star break. The lefthander's seven wins sincethe break tie him with San Diego's Jake Peavy, Colorado's JeffFrancis and Atlanta's Tim Hudson for the league lead. On Thursday, Davis improved to 2-0 against the Padres thisseason, allowing three runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings of an8-7 win. The nine-year veteran, who is 3-1 in his last sixstarts against San Diego, is looking for his career-high 13thwin. Having lost 10 of their last 15 games, the Diamondbacks sorelyneed Davis to continue his stellar second half. Rookie MicahOwings struggled Monday, allowing four home runs in threeinnings of a 10-2 loss as Arizona fell one game behind SanDiego. The Diamondbacks hold a three-game lead over the Los AngelesDodgers (72-65) and the Philadelphia Phillies (72-65) in thewild card race. Chris Young (9-5, 2.38) gets the ball for the Padres, who tied aseason high with five home runs in Monday's rout. Youngopposed Davis the last time the two teams met and struggledmightily, allowing a season-high six walks and allowed fiveruns. Young is 0-2 with a 6.32 ERA in three starts against Arizonathis season.
