The Diamondbacks beat the Mets 10-4, enabling Brandon Webb to notch his 7th win with less than his best stuff. He gave up all 4 of the Mets runs on 5 hits, including a 3-run homer by Carlos Delgado in the 6th inning, Webb’s last.

Augie Ojeda, subbing for Orlando Hudson, who is day-to-day with a tweaked hamstring, had a career day. He went 3-4, including 2 doubles and 6 RBIs. The other big hitter for the D’Backs was Justin Upton, who went 2-3 with 3 BBs and 3 runs.

The D’backs were leading 5-4 when they came up in the 8th. They tacked on another 5 runs, 2 of which came on an Ojeda double.

Eric Byrnes and Mark Reynolds are still slumping. Reynolds went 0-4 and a 1 BB–he scored–2 K and 7 LOB. Byrnesie was nearly as bad. He went 1-5 and a run scored, a GIDP and 4 LOB. Thank goodness for guys like Augie Ojeda.

And thank goodness for a solid bullpen. Qualls in the 7th, Pena in the 8th and Lyon in the 9th were scoreless.

Tomorrow’s rubber match promises quite a pitcher’s duel: Haren v. Santana.
