| (Sportsbooks) - A pair of struggling National League West foes start up a three-game series tonight at Chase Field, where the Arizona Diamondbacks and the visiting Colorado Rockies face off in a rematch of a season-opening set. These teams played three times in Phoenix from April 6-8, with the Rockies winning two of those matchups. Colorado hasn't had the same success since, however, as the club has lost six times in a seven-game span following that series and was overmatched by the red-hot Los Angeles Dodgers |

| San Francisco, CA (Sportsbooks) - Randy Johnson allowed one hit in seven shutout innings as the San Francisco Giants edged the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-0, in the rubber match of a three-game set at AT&T Park. Johnson (1-2), making his first appearance against Arizona in his 22-year career, gave up only a double in the seventh inning while striking out seven and walking two. It was his first win with the Giants after joining the team as a free agent in the offseason and now has 296 career victories. Brian Wil |

| (Sportsbooks) - Randy Johnson will face his former club for the first time this afternoon, as his San Francisco Giants play the rubber match of a three- game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks at AT&T Park. Johnson pitched with Arizona from 1999-2004 and then again from 2007-08, winning 118 games, a handful of Cy Young Awards and a World Series title with the Diamondbacks. The tall lefty has yet to win with San Francisco, a club he joined in the offseason as a free agent, leaving him 0-2 on the year and stil |

Augie Ojeda and Justin Upton contributed a pair of hits apiece. Chad Qualls earned his second save after pitching a perfect ninth. A gem by Tim Li |

He is 0-1 with a 7.56 earned run average on the season after going 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA and 265 strikeouts last season. The 24-year-old lasted just three innings in his season |

| San Francisco, CA (Sportsbooks) - Jonathan Sanchez allowed only two hits in 6 2/3 scoreless innings, and the San Francisco Giants blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks, 2-0, to halt a six-game losing streak.

Dan Haren (0-3) was outstanding for Arizona but lost for the third time in as many starts due to sub-par run support |

| (Sportsbooks) - Hoping to put a frustrating early-season losing streak to an end, the San Francisco Giants return to AT&T Park tonight for the first of three straight matchups with the similarly-struggling Arizona Diamondbacks. After taking two of three at home over Milwaukee to begin the 2009 campaign, the Giants lost all six battles of a road trip against National League West rivals San Diego and Los Angeles. A lack of offense was the team's biggest culprit, as San Francisco mustered only 14 runs and batt |
