| (MySportsbook) - A pair of struggling National League West foes start up a three-game series tonight at Chase Field, where the Arizona Diamondbacks and the visiting Colorado Rockies face off in a rematch of a season-opening set. These teams played three times in Phoenix from April 6-8, with the Rockies winning two of those matchups. Colorado hasn't had the same success since, however, as the club has lost six times in a seven-game span following that series and was overmatched by the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers |

| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - Randy Johnson allowed one hit in seven shutout innings as the San Francisco Giants edged the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-0, in the rubber match of a three-game set at AT&T Park. Johnson (1-2), making his first appearance against Arizona in his 22-year career, gave up only a double in the seventh inning while striking out seven and walking two. It was his first win with the Giants after joining the team as a free agent in the offseason and now has 296 career victories. Brian Wil |

| (MySportsbook) - Randy Johnson will face his former club for the first time this afternoon, as his San Francisco Giants play the rubber match of a three- game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks at AT&T Park. Johnson pitched with Arizona from 1999-2004 and then again from 2007-08, winning 118 games, a handful of Cy Young Awards and a World Series title with the Diamondbacks. The tall lefty has yet to win with San Francisco, a club he joined in the offseason as a free agent, leaving him 0-2 on the year and stil |

| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - Chris Young's two-RBI double in the ninth, coupled with Doug Davis' eight shutout innings, led the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 2-0 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Davis (1-2) got his first win of the season after scattering eight hits and a walk while striking out six for Arizona, which had lost five of six coming into the game. Augie Ojeda and Justin Upton contributed a pair of hits apiece. Chad Qualls earned his second save after pitching a perfect ninth. A gem by Tim Li |

| (MySportsbook) - Still in search of his first victory of the season, 2008 National League Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum will lead the San Francisco Giants versus the Arizona Diamondbacks this afternoon at AT&T Park. Lincecum will take the hill for the second contest of this three-game series today despite a recent stomach illness. He is 0-1 with a 7.56 earned run average on the season after going 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA and 265 strikeouts last season. The 24-year-old lasted just three innings in his season |

| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - Jonathan Sanchez allowed only two hits in 6 2/3 scoreless innings, and the San Francisco Giants blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-0, to halt a six-game losing streak. Sanchez (1-1) also walked four and struck out four for the Giants, who have only won three of their first 10 games. Andres Torres hit a solo homer, while Fred Lewis had two of the team's six hits. Dan Haren (0-3) was outstanding for Arizona but lost for the third time in as many starts due to sub-par run support |

| (MySportsbook) - Hoping to put a frustrating early-season losing streak to an end, the San Francisco Giants return to AT&T Park tonight for the first of three straight matchups with the similarly-struggling Arizona Diamondbacks. After taking two of three at home over Milwaukee to begin the 2009 campaign, the Giants lost all six battles of a road trip against National League West rivals San Diego and Los Angeles. A lack of offense was the team's biggest culprit, as San Francisco mustered only 14 runs and batt |
