The Dbacks continue to get it done at home. With the 6-3 win over the Mets on Saturday night the Dbacks have now won 10 of their last 12 home games and are 23-9 at home since May 23rd.
The Bad:
Diamondbacks starter Ian Kennedy gave up three solo home runs to Ike Davis of the Mets. The distances of those home runs according to ESPN Stats & Info... The first was 435 feet, the second was 445 feet and third home run was 394 feet.
He Said It:
"It was everything. Even in the third at-bat I even hung a curveball to try something different. I threw good ones and he was fouling them off. I can at least laugh at it now. It was almost jaw-dropping. I have never given up three to the same guy. I guess, he made SportsCenter."

Starter Ian Kennedy has now won three straight starts and he's 9-8 on the seaon. The Bullpen has also been holding its own with a 0.51 ERA in their last seven games.
