Mark Reynolds went 3 for 3 with and drove in 3 runs as the Arizona Diamondbacks started a 7-game homestand with a 6-3 win over Milwaukee. Reynolds, who has a batting average 56 points higher at Chase Field than on the road, had an rbi double in the 1st inning, another run-scoring double in the 5th, and a solo home run in the 8th.

Diamondbacks starter Doug Davis wasn’t as sharp as he’s been recently, but he was good enough to get the win. Davis went 5 and 2/3 innings, giving up 5 hits, 4 walks and 3 runs to even his record on the year at 3-3. Brandon Lyon rebounded from his first blown save in more than 2 months yesterday, by working a perfect 9th with 2 strikeouts for his 17th save of the year.

It wasn’t all good news for Arizona. Left fielder Eric Byrnes appeared to aggravate a hamstring injury while he was attempting to steal third base in the 2nd inning. He was replaced by Jeff Salazar. Manager Bob Melvin told the media after the game that Byrnes would definitely land back on the disabled list. For how long, he was unsure.

The win was for the first for the Diamondbacks against the Brewers this season. Milwaukee swept a 3-game series in early June at Miller Park.
