The Diamondbacks just cannot find the winning formula on a consistent basis. The pitching and hitting has not yet come at the same time and for a team that was the best in the bigs for the early part of the year, the season has started to become a lot more shaky. Dan Haren threw all he had, and gave up just two runs in seven innings. Sadly, the Diamondbacks offense managed just one run in the game. The loss was taken by a score of 5-1.
The Padres starter Cha Seung Baek gave up just two hits over six innings and struck out seven. The Diamondbacks had just five hits in the game of Padres pitching.
The run support came from the middle of the order, with an RBI coming one apiece from the 2-5 hitters. Jody Gerut and Kevin Kouzmanhoff led the way with two hits each.
Haren sturck out seven in seven innings and allowed the same number of hits. Sadly, triple sevens were not that lucky for Haren. He likely cemented himself in as an NL All-Star with the outing.
Chad Tracy drove in the lone Diamondbacks run with an RBI single in the seventh.
