    Joe Saunders threw a few pitches in the bullpen and felt tightness in his shoulder. A few more pitches, same thing.

    Maybe he slept on it wrong, maybe it was a fluke occurrence. Whatever it was, one thing was certain: Saunders wasn't going to make his start.

    The way Arizona's bullpen pitched, the Diamondbacks didn't need him.

    Josh Collmenter was effective in a last-minute start, Brad Ziegler tossed two scoreless innings and David Hernandez worked out of a late jam to help the Diamondbacks cobble together a 6-1 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night after Saunders was a late scratch.
