It was a laugher out at Petco Park.  The Arizona Diamondbacks squad ripped San
Diego pitching for a total of 11 runs.  Nick Blackburn(1-0), with relief help
from John Grabow, surrendered 3 runs to San Diego.
 
Arizona jumped out to the early lead in the first inning scoring one runner
using 2 hits.  After two were out Xavier Nady doubled.  Jim Thome stepped
into the batter's box and he doubled.  Arizona out-hit San Diego for the
game, 14 hits to 8.  
 
Grabow gained credit for his 1st save.  The loss was charged to Brandon
Backe(0-1).  Arizona scored big getting 8 runs off him in 7 innings.
