Webb Wins
The Arizona Republic notes that Brandon Webb brought some welcome relief to the Diamondbacks bullpen:
Thanks to a shaky rotation behind Webb, the bullpen had been forced to work 18 2/3 innings in the previous four games - an average of 4 2/3 innings per contest.
But Webb limited to the Padres to four hits in eight innings until issuing back-to-back singles to Mark Bellhorn and Dave Roberts in the ninth. He got behind both of those two batters and became a little rattled, but closer Jose Valverde came on to bail him out and help Webb improve to 3-0.
While Webb is averaging a little over seven inning per start, the rest of the rotation is sporting a 6.40 ERA. Already Arizona took action, sending Russ Ortiz to the bullpen.
