After every Arizona Diamondbacks game we’ll examine the
box score and
provide you with instant analysis. So it’s time to go
Inside the Box for
August 28, 2011: Diamondbacks 6, Padres 1
The Good:
In seven innings, D-backs starter Kennedy may have allowed six hits, but he hurt the Padres where it counts – the scoreboard. He only gave up one earned run. It also didn’t hurt that he struck out seven batters.
Collin Cowgill had a big day at the plate for the D-backs. He had four hits for the first time in his MLB career. Those hits combined brought in two runs.
The Bad:
While the D-backs won, new arrival John McDonald didn’t do much to help at the plate. In his four appearances, he did not get on base and struck out once.
The Funky:
Kennedy now leads the NL in wins with 17. His Sunday win also put the D-backs current win streak at six.
