Diamondbacks 2, Braves 1

Horacio Rameriez pitches another strong game (7inn; 3H; 2R; 0ER; 5BB; 1K) but the Dbacks take advantage of his fielding error. As a defensive player, Rameriez can make some terriffic plays but on Thursday night his decision to go to second base after bobbling the ball on a bunt proved costly. Both runs for the Dback were unearned. Andruw Jones did his part with three hits including a solo home run in the 9th inning. Former Brave Juan Cruz pitched a gem (7inn.; 5H; 1BB; 0R; 1K) against his former team. Cruz started the year in the pen which is where he worked for the Braves, but has come on strong as a starter with 14 straight scoreless innings. He was traded to Oakland in the Tim Hudsun deal.

-Arizona CF Eric Byrnes (.325) now has a 15 game hitting streak.
