Hire the Vet

The Arizona Diamondbacks are a young team, but it was the veterans who provided the win Tuesday night. Tony Clak and Eric Byrnes provided five early runs on two homers, and Doug Davis allowed eleven base runners but just one run as Arizona moved back into a virtual tie for the NL West lead with a 9-1 victory over the Padres. David goes 3-0 versus San Diego with a 2.75 ERA on the season, account for 1/3 of the DBacks wins against the Padres. The game also puts Arizona in line to take the season series with a win this evening. Given how close the teams stand, a tie is quite possible, and the first tie breaker (if one of the teams would be the wild card) is head-to-head record. If the Padres win, then they would need to go to the second tie-breaker, record against the West, and the Padres have a huge advantage there of six games.
