The Diamondbacks might be getting a little taste of the frustrations of the Padres season with their lack of run scoring lately. The story of the Padres season thus far has been the lack of ability to score runs. That came to be again for the Diamondbacks for the second straight night. Doug Davis was left with no support from his offense and the Padres, fueled by Scott Hairston, took the second game of the series 4-2.
Davis went eight strong innings allowing three runs on seven hits and striking out seven. Hairston was the lone speed bump in the game. He went deep twice, once in the third with a runner on and again with a solo shot in the sixth. He had three hits in the game.
Jake Peavy was on the other side unfortunately, and he threw seven shutout innings blanking the Diamondbacks on just three hits. He walked two and struck out six.
The Diamondbacks did not get on the board until the eighth with one and put up one more in the ninth but fell short. Stephen Drew hit a solo homer in the ninth. Orlando Hudson had two hits, both doubles, and drove in the other run.
