Arizona Diamondbacks Notes, Quotes 2008-08-22
--RHP Brandon Webb hasn't given up a run to the Padres in 13 innings this season. He leads the majors with 19 wins, a career high.

--1B Chad Tracy was given a day off, replaced in the lineup by Tony Clark. Tracy had microfracture knee surgery last year, and manager Bob Melvin is wary of playing him too many days in a row.

--RF Adam Dunn walked three times and leads the majors with 94 bases on balls.

--RHP Brandon Lyon gave up one run in the ninth inning of a 4-1 win, two nights after getting battered for three runs in one-third of an inning. He was not used in a save situation Wednesday, but manager Bob Melvin said it was simply a day off.

--C Chris Snyder did not commit an error. He is the only regular catcher in the majors without one this season.

BY THE NUMBERS: 38 -- Runs the D-backs scored in six games with OF Adam Dunn through Aug. 17, even after being shut out that day in Houston.

QUOTE TO NOTE: "He takes a lot of pressure off everybody in our lineup. We're deeper, and it makes our lineup a lot tougher to navigate." -- D-backs manager Bob Melvin, on new OF Adam Dunn.
