Alfredo Marte's three-run homer in the top of the first provided instant offense, and RHP Trevor Bauer tossed five scoreless innings as the BayBears defeated the Mississippi Braves 5-2 on Thursday night. The victory is Mobile's fourth consecutive Opening Day win. They have now won five straight over the M-Braves dating back to last year.

PHOENIX -- Diamondbacks teammates Paul Goldschmidt and Chris Young were both a little out of place in Friday's opening-day lineup against the San Francisco Giants.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson slotted Young, the center fielder, second in the batting order, a spot he hadn't hit in all spring and had hit in only once in 2011, exactly one year earlier. Goldschmidt, meanwhile...

Gold Glover Gerardo Parra could see a lot of time in left field even in games he does not start, manager Kirk Gibson said before Saturdays game.
Parra entered as a defensive replacement for starter Jason Kubel for the final three innings of the D-backs 5-4 victory over San Francisco on Friday, coming in after the D-backs broke a 3-3 tie in the sixth, just after Kubel had his third...

PHOENIX -- Ian Kennedy knows how difficult it can be to win 20 games, having lived through it last year. So he limits his numerical goals to those more in his control, liking being in good enough condition to make every start and log 200 or more innings.
Still ...
"It is something you can build off," Kennedy said last week.
The construction begins Friday, when Kennedy...

In one year, things have really changed for the Diamondbacks' pitching staff. One year ago, the team was trying to pick between Zach Duke, Armando Galarraga, Barry Enright, and Aaron Heilman for the back end of the rotation. The bullpen was coming off a historically bad season in 2010, and was hoping for improvement from newcomers J.J. Putz and David Hernandez. As we head into...

Obviously, last night is not the only sampling of the reigning NL West Champion Arizona Diamondbacks. However, conquering the “Freak” in San Francisco Giants P Tim Lincecum for five runs is no small order. Tattooing his usually dominant array of pitches for two first inning home runs showed a microcosm of power that is to come. Players like 1B Paul Goldschmidt are...

Tim Lincecum loses to Arizona and Ian Kennedy beats San Francisco.
Those facts persisted through all of last season and carried over to the reigning NL West champion Diamondbacks' 5-4 season-opening victory over the Giants on Friday night.
Chris Young and Paul Goldschmidt hit first-inning home runs, then Ryan Roberts' two-run double broke a sixth-inning tie as Arizona defeated...

Willie Bloomquist, who really shouldn’t even be batting leadoff, hit a single off Tim Lincecum to get things going for the Diamondbacks. The next batter, Chris Young, hit a home run. And that pretty much set the tone for the game; Lincecum gave up a couple bombs in the first inning, and ultimately couldn’t get through six innings. His fastball velocity sat around 90, topping...
