Petit shuts down Cubs as Diamondbacks take series

<h3>ARIZONA 3, CHICAGO CUBS 0</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Yusmeiro Petit was unfazed by the hottestteam in the majors.


Petit threw six outstanding innings and Chris Snyder homered asthe Diamondbacks posted a 3-0 victory over the red-hot ChicagoCubs on Sunday.


Petit (2-2), who was making his fourth start in place of theinjured Randy Johnson, quieted a Cubs' offense that had scored29 runs in the previous four games.


It was quite an accomplishment for the young Venezuelanconsidering Chicago also entered the game 17-6 at home and amajor league-best 28-14 since June 3.


Petit allowed just three hits and did not issue and walk. He<div class="pre">also struck out five in throwing 61 of 88 pitches for strikes</div>to deny Chicago its fifth consecutive series win at home.

The 22-year-old righthander allowed just one runner into scoringposition. That came in the third inning when Alfonso Sorianohit a two-out double to left field, but was stranded when RyanTheriot to hit a comebacker to end the threat.


Rookie Mark Reynolds and Snyder provided all the runs Petitneeded. Reynolds had an RBI single in the first and Snyder hita leadoff homer - his seventh of the season - off relieverCarlos Marmol in the seventh for a 2-0 lead.


One batter after Snyder's home run, Marmol walked Chris Young,who stole second before Orlando Hudson also drew a base onballs. Young later scored on a two-out bloop single off the batof Conor Jackson for a 3-0 advantage. Marmol avoided furtherdamage by striking out Reynolds with runners on the corners.

Diamondbacks righthander Tony Pena threw a scoreless seventh andBrandon Lyon worked the eighth before All-Star closer JoseValverde worked around a leadoff single to convert his 30th savein 33 chances.


Jackson had a pair of hits for Arizona, which won for just thefifth time in 15 games and captured its first road series sinceJune 15-17.


Meanwhile, Chicago lost its second straight despite the bestefforts of Sean Marshall (4-4). Winless in his last fourstarts, Marshall allowed just one run and five hits in sixinnings with five strikeouts.


Jason Kendall, who was acquired from the Oakland Athletics onMonday, recorded his first hit for the Cubs, who lost 3-2 onSaturday after Stephen Drew hit go-ahead homer off closer BobHowry in the eighth.


Chicago, which finished 8-2 on its 10-game homestand, will get aboost on Tuesday as Derrek Lee returns from serving a five-gamesuspension for his role in a brawl with the San Diego Padres onJune 16.
