The Diamondbacks have put together another extended streak and because of it, they’ve now moved back into first place. They've been in first, then fourth, now back to first. I'd like to say they're here to stay, but things are just too tight.

Last night, they got it done behind a nice outing by Brandon Webb. He gave up just one on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in seven solid innings. He's now pushed his ERA down to 3.21 and he's put together three nice starts in a row after a couple of shaky ones in first three.

Orlando Hudson continued to hit the ball well. He went three for five with an RBI and two runs and he's now hitting .352 on the season. Chris Young also showed some flashes of what we can hopefully expect from him in the future with two homeruns and three RBIs. Carlos Quentin had a nice game as well and he went two for three with two runs.

There's still two more games left in this series. Picking up this first one was nice though so hopefully now the Diamondbacks can just keep it going.
