<h3>Webb looks to one-up Peavy as Diamondbacks face Padres</h3>



<div class="pre">Arizona (74-58) at San Diego (71-59) 10:05 pm EDT</div>

SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Jake Peavy strengthened his case for theNational League Cy Young Award on Monday, but Brandon Webb isn'tready to give up the crown.


Webb takes the mound as the Arizona Diamondbacks continue theirfour-game series with San Diego Padres on Tuesday.

Peavy threw seven dominating innings and Geoff Blum hit ago-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh as the Padres posted a3-1 win on Monday to pull within two games of Arizona in the NLWest. Peavy tied Atlanta's Tim Hudson for the league lead inwins at 15, and leads the league in strikeouts with 197.

Webb (14-8, 2.63 ERA), who can tie Peavy and Tim Hudson for thelead in wins, is gunning for his second straight Cy Young Award.

The righthander saw his scoreless innings streak snapped at 421/3 on Wednesday in a 3-2 win over Milwaukee. Webb, who hadthrown three straight shutouts, allowed an RBI single to PrinceFielder in the first inning. He allowed just two runs and fivehits in seven innings to post his sixth straight win.

Justin Germano (6-7, 4.24) takes the mound for San Diego, whichleads Philadelphia by three games in the wild card race.Germano, who is winless in his last seven starts, yielded fourruns - three earned - and five hits in five innings, but did notfactor in the decision in a 9-8 win over New York on Wednesday.
