Low Run Afternoon
The Diamondbacks and Padres failed to score through the first five innings. Randy Johnson allowed just two hits while recording seven strikeouts. Cha Seung Baek allowed four hits, and like Johnson just one walk. All six hits are singles, and Randy Johnson managed the first safety of the afternoon.
It's like they're playing limbo, seeing if they can go lower than the Cubs/Pirates two runs.
Update: As Baek approaches and passes 100 pitches, the DBacks start pounding the hits. Tracy and Dunn single to set up a sacrifice fly, and Hensley enters in relief. He gives up a triple and a double, and the DBacks lead 3-0. Hensley posted a 1.35 ERA in August despite 13 walks in 13 1/3 innings coming into today.
Update: Randy Johnson gets his second hit of the day, and the Diamondbacks lead 4-0 as Hensley gives way to Hampson.
