Not the worst game to watch on a Sunday afternoon, that's for sure.

Recaps:

• [DBacks.com] Drew's heroics deliver in series finale - We probably wanted a better record, but to be fair, going 4-5 against that run of teams isn't too shabby. But it doesn't get any easier from here.

• [AZ Central] Arizona Diamondbacks drop San Francisco Giants in 12th inning - "In typical Drew fashion, the shortstop simply made the turn around first, watched Upton score the winning run and didn't even seem to flash a smile." Do we need a more fiery short stop?

• [FSN Arizona] Drew, D-backs beat Giants in 12 - Really, a lot of praise of Drew in these articles. But I think the bullpen deserves some credit, too.

• [San Jose Mercury News] San Francisco Giants lose to Arizona Diamondbacks in 12 innings - I can't think of the last time someone used the term "butterfingers," let alone in a published article.

DBacks News:

• [AZ Central] Streak stoppers; Kelly gets a day; Vasquez doing well (so far); & other stuff - "Stop me if you’ve heard this one: RHP Esmerling Vasquez is pitching really well and starting to look like a reliable guy out of the bullpen." And then Vasquez comes in today and gives up a solo home run. I guess we know who to blame for that.

• [DBacks.com] Gibson says pitching needs to improve - Looking at how many runs we've given up on this home stand, I certainly can't argue with Gibby.

• [Minor League Ball] Fantasy Baseball 2011: Diamondbacks First Baseman Paul Goldschmidt - As IHSB likes to say, "Goldschmidt happens." 6 home runs in his first ten games, to be specific. Our potential first baseman of the future has started off the season on a tear in the minors, and he gets some coverage from Minor League Ball.

Around Baseball:

• [Baseball Nation] Mets Vs. Braves: Starters In Relief Key New York's Win - You'll occasionally see starters come out of the bullpen for a team, but it's rare to see a team go to two starters, and in regulation.

• [Big League Stew] Report: McCourt takes $30 million loan to meet Dodgers payroll - That's got to be encouraging to Dodgers fans, and especially when they consider how well the team has started off the season.

• [ESPN] Johnny Damon leaves Tampa Bay Rays game after bruising finger - The Rays have had such excellent luck signing former Red Sox sluggers this season.

• [Baseball Analytics] Surviving Strikeouts - A look at how a high strikeout rate isn't necessarily doomsday for a batter- if they match it with other skills, they can still be productive.

Whoops, gotta run. Kevin Towers is after me for that last link. Go DBacks!
