The Phils are once again unable to give Cole Hamels runs support as they lose to the D-backs, 2-1.
Yet another good pitching effort by Cole Hamels is wasted by an offense that refuses to score runs for him, as they are handled by the D-backs, 2-1.

Corbin emerging as ace of backwards rotation
PHOENIX -- Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson insists he hasn't been surprised -- even pleasantly -- by young left-hander Patrick Corbin's historic start. We won't call Gibson dishonest, but it's hard to imagine that anyone saw this coming.
Heck, even Corbin didn't expect to be this good through seven starts.
"I didnt know my start would be like this,"...

MLB Game Picks - Thursday: May 9, 2013
Yesterday's pick started off 8-0 and I was like, whoa. I was thinking that the day could be historic. But then the Red Sox could not get any Twins out. And somehow, the Yankees beat the Rockies. Then I stupidly picked the Mets and the Brewers to win. And then in the last game of the night, the Dodgers--the Game of the Day featuring Clayton Kershaw--lost. And there was no history...

This week on I’d Roster That we have a couple of left-handed starting pitchers, a right-handed hitting shortstop, and a left-handed hitting left fielder. Let’s get to it, starting with the pitchers.
Patrick Corbin (23, left handed starting pitcher, Arizona Diamondbacks) is in just his second season in Major League Baseball. In his first year in...
D-backs call on Kennedy in finale with Padres
With their offense beginning to show some life, the Diamondbacks should feel confident with Ian Kennedy on the mound in a ballpark where he's been dominant.

Finally, D-backs get to breathe a little easier
SAN DIEGO -- For a change, the Diamondbacks were able to step back and take a breath Saturday. After playing 21 games decided by two runs or fewer and a half a dozen that went extra innings, they found the refreshing blowout they have lacked.

D-backs regroup, lick wounds, head to San Diego
Perhaps a day off was what the Diamondbacks needed to reset after a painful sweep at the hands of the Giants, capped by consecutive blown saves. Despite wins in two of their last three series, the D-backs entered the off day beaten down by the bullpen struggles.

The good and bad of the Diamondbacks' first month
PHOENIX -- There are plenty of reasons to like the numbers the Diamondbacks have put up through the first month of the season. There are just as many to tell the numbers to shut up.
Jekyll one day, Hyde (and hide) the next.
It has been a fair start. The D-backs are still two games above .500, a good thing, especially considering they have played all season without nominal leadoff...

Gerardo Parra tripled and scored twice, and Josh Wilson had a run-scoring double to help lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.

MLB Game Picks - Sunday: April 28, 2013
The week's comeback is complete. After a disastrous 15-27 start to the week, the picks then went 36-19 the rest of the week to finish in the black after a 10-5 day yesterday.
The day had trouble getting started as the Tigers beat the Braves again. I guess it is official that Kris Medlen has regressed to the mean. The Orioles beat the A's again as A.J. Griffin lost for...
