• An Achilles' Heel for the 2008 D-Backs Rears Its Ugly Head in First Loss of 2009

  Tom Tulowitzki's fifth-inning jack gave Colorado a lead it would not relinquish. Along with spotty defense, the Arizona Diamondbacks' biggest issue to rectify in the 2009 season is scoring production. Yeah, looks like they should have saved some of Monday's offensive firepower for last night's game against the Colorado Rockies. Facing right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez (1-0) - who was armed with a fastball that consistently hit the 97 mph mark as well as filthy off-speed pitches hovering around th

  www.mlb.comConor Jackson was one of the heroes of last night's game.It'd been almost nine long months since Conor Jackson hit a home run for the Arizona Diamondbacks, with the left fielder's last moon shot coming way back in July against the San Francisco Giants. But Co-Jack's homer dry spell ended in dramatic fashion Tuesday night when he drilled a pinch-hit, three-run dinger deep into the seats at Chase Field during the eighth inning to help lift the D-Backs to a 7-6 victory over the St. Lou

• Arizona Diamondbacks Score Six Runs (In One Game!) to Top the Colorado Rockies Monday Night

  www.arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.comMiguel Montero's mammoth blast in the fifth was the difference maker for the Diamondbacks. Six runs in a single baseball game isn't exactly an offensive blitzkrieg, but when you're the Arizona Diamondbacks, a half-dozen revolutions around the base path is huge. Especially considering that the team had only managed to cough up two stinking runs in the past 31 frames. It's also huge when six runs are good enough to chalk up a much-needed victory, which the struggl

• Arizona Diamondbacks Mauled By Chicago Cubs in 11-3 Blowout

  www.dbacks.comYusmeiro Petit allowed seven runs over three and one-third innings in last night's drubbing by the Cubs. Turnabout, as they say, is fair play. A mere 24 hours after routing the Chicago Cubs, 7-2, on Monday, the Arizona Diamondbacks got a taste of their own medicine last night in the form of an 11-3 drubbing by the Windy City sluggers. So long, winning streak, we hardly knew ye. As usual, it was practically a home game for Chi-Town, with their rabid Valley fan base (last seen f

Following a pair of tough losses on Friday and Saturday, it seemed the Snakes were about to get swept by the basement-dwelling Nats, giving new manager A.J. Hinch the ugliest possible start.Thankfully, the D-Backs managed to somewhat salvage things with a hard-fought 10-

For proof, look no further than the nice-size bruise that Ryan Roberts is probably sporting on his left arm this morning.The contusion came via an 86-mile-per-hour fastball dished out by Reds pitcher (and one-time hurler for Arizona) Micah Owings to start the bottom of the eighth

• Arizona Diamondbacks Lose a Heartbreaking, Yet Super-Exciting Game to the San Diego Padres

  Chase Headley's tenth-inning bomb won it for the red hot Padres. Do you have a friend who either doesn't give two poops about baseball or doesn't know jack squat about the game? Or perhaps you're entertaining some English blokes who would rather sip a spot of tea while watching the cricket than checking out a game of "rounders," as those British bastards call it? If any of these scenarios apply - or you like baseball with a lot of action - then make them watch a replay of yesterday's Arizona

  Max Scherzer struck out seven in an impressive effort last night. Chris Young has come up with a few big catches this season, but none of 'em were as clutch as his game-ending nab that sealed the Arizona Diamondbacks' 6-5 victory over San Diego last night at Chase Field, snuffing out the Padre's 10-game winning streak. In addition to being a joy to watch, the impressive-looking grab - which involved a bounding leap to snatch a Kevin Kouzmanoff fly ball at the warning track wall - saved his sq

• Mr. Snubbed, Mark Reynolds, Plays Hero in Diamondbacks' Win Over San Diego Padres

  Mark Reynolds proved last night that he should be a 2009 All-Star. In the top half of the eighth inning at Chase Field last night, the boo birds came a-calling once again on the 2009 Arizona Diamondbacks. The pesky San Diego Padres had just padded their lead after a throwing error by catcher Miguel Montero, who was trying to prevent Everth Cabrera from stealing third. (Cabrera had reached on a two-out walk, then stolen second.) Instead, Montero's errant toss sailed into left field, allowing th

  Gerardo Parra whacked an RBI triple in last night's 4-3 victory over San Diego. Don't look now, but the Arizona Diamondbacks, the second-worst team in Major League Baseball, currently have the hottest win streak going in the bigs. Yes, you read that right. Our lovable hometown zeroes have triumphed in their last four games, including last night's 4-3 win over the San Diego Padres, which ties a season record for the D-Backs.

• Diamondbacks Sink the Pittsburgh Pirates in Weekend Series With Back-to-Back Shutouts

  Max Scherzer showed off his Pirate-killing skills in yesterday's 9-0 blowout.​ Max Scherzer might as well start calling himself Jack Sparrow, since the Diamondbacks pitcher was cutting down Pirates left and right during yesterday's 9-0 shutout over Pittsburgh at Chase Field. Instead of using ye olde cutlass, however, he was doing it with his 94-mph four-seamers and sliders, dispatching Bucs batters with on-target tossing and totaling 85 strikes out of the 109 pitches he threw during seven sc

A for-the-ages, come-from-behind win in extra innings. Stars and unknowns stepping into the spotlight and delivering big plays. And one of the most unbelievable and scary moments baseball has ever witnessed.
