Ninth-inning collapse erases Webb's win: Brandon Webb and the Diamondbacks had staked Brandon Lyon to a three-run lead, but the Diamondbacks closer, pitching in his third straight game, couldn't hold it during a 6-5 loss to the Dodgers Sunday. Webb, trying for his major league-leading 14th win, was effective if not overpowering, allowing six hits with three walks and four strikeouts in eight innings. "I felt I was falling behind a lot in the count," Webb said. "But I worked out of some jams, made some pitches when I had to and came out pretty much unscathed. It gets frustrating to go out there and not be able to put it where you want it." (Updated 07/20/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
If you happened to lose your Fantasy game this week because Webb failed to pick up the win, make sure to thank Lyon. Webb pitched well enough to win his third straight decision and it's sad the bullpen could not hold the lead as he pitched deep into the game. Webb remains an elite Fantasy SP as he is among the top contenders for the NL Cy Young. His next scheduled start is for Saturday against the Giants. He is 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two starts against San Francisco this season. (Updated 07/20/2008).
