Game over, D-Backs win it 7-1 and move to 4-2 on the season!!!

We will have a chance for the 4 game sweep tomorrow afternoon, gametime is set for 1:05 ET.

Dbacks win!

 

[trueherotillman]

great start...should be 5-1, but we'll take 4-2. even better if we win tommorrow. i like the pitching matcup with Livan trying to show up his old team. the true test will be once we start playing in our division. I do like the fact that the schedule makers gave us some weak teams to start the year out. not much better than to give the young guys some confidence early on.

glad the dbacks won tonight great showing on both sides offense and defense now lets go for the sweep tommrow

Livan Hernandez takes the mound against Shawn Hill tomorrow at 10:30. Television coverage is on 3TV.

My stance is the same as last year, how can you not like Eric Byrnes?

I don't not like him.

He still has never put together two back-to-back successful seasons. If he can do that this year then we might be in business.

I'm not a fan, I hope he's mid season trade bait. He seems like a nice guy, and I'm glad he hustles, but as a player he doesn't really do it for me.

EDIT: Holy Jesus, Erika Williams on the pregame show is intolerable. Thankfully there is a mute button.

I don't like him. His play in the outfield leaves something to be desired. He isn't fundamentally sound on defense.

 

[Dback Jon]

Dbacks up 2-0 through 4.

Hudson doubled in CoJack, moved to third on error, scored on grounder by Byrnes.

 

[Dback Jon]

Livan - 4 innings pitched, 3 BB, no HITS, 64 pitches

 

[Dback Jon]

Dbacks up 2-0 after 5. No-hitter still for Livan, 76 pitches.

Shhhhh!!

You ruined it!

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

No hitter broken up in the 6th, Hernandez still has a shutout going.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Chris Young taken out with what seems to be a groin injury, but hopefully this is minor.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Miscommunication between Hudson and Drew, now the Nats are threatening. Bases loaded, two outs, Dbacks still up 3-1.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Nats leave them loaded after Lyon gets the pop up.

 

[Brandon_Webb]

This bullpen is not good at all. Hopefully we can ship off somebody and get a legit setup man or closer.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

I just got home... I got roped into going to my grandma's house for easter... Glad to see we are winning and in good shape to complete the sweep

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

I love Byrnes. He's fun to watch, he's not bad at the plate and while his defense isn't the greatest, he make's it entertaining.

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

Byrnes K's and leaves 2 stranded. Let's hope Papa Grande can close it out and complete the 4 game sweep.

B9 3-1 D-Backs

 

[PHXSportsFan4]

D-Backs win it!!! 4 Game sweep!
