Hey, almost pitching a complete game shutout is still pretty good, Joe. We'll definitely take it.

Recaps:

• [FS Arizona] Saunders and D-backs beat Padres 6-1 - Good work from all over the offense, really- with some help from Orlando Hudson, of course.

• [DBacks.com] Johnson, Upton make Saunders' win easy - Only six hits allowed in the complete game by Joe Saunders? Good outing.

• [AZ Central] Arizona Diamondbacks top San Diego Padres behind Joe Saunders' complete game gem - Willie Bloomquist has done a great job of stepping up for this team and helping out when Stephen Drew has gone down to injury, both at the start of the year and in the past handful of games.

• [SignOnSanDiego.com] Hudson's blunder one of Padres' mistakes in loss - Dustin Moseley dislocated his shoulder on his non-throwing arm in the third inning, and still pitched seven. That's pretty hardcore.

DBacks News:

• [DBacks.com] Bauer could be September addition to 'pen - They want to have Trevor Bauer pitch 30 to 40 innings this year, and he won't get that in the minors, so we might see him on the mound in Chase Field this year.

• [DBacks Venom] More Details on Trevor Bauer's Contract - Interesting to see how the potential difference is split. If they're talking about possibly seeing Bauer up in September, I don't think there's much chance he won't be in the majors in 2012.

• [AZ Central] Arizona Diamondbacks look for reliever as trade deadline looms - Kevin Towers still thinks we'll be able to get a reliever to help out this year and next. So, what arms are up for trade that has another year on their contract?

• [Reno Gazette-Journal] Hinxman: For Aces' Schmidt, 'K' doesn't stand for strikeout - When Konrad Schmidt was 16, he was a pitcher. One game, a ball hit him in the forehead, and richocheted to the dugout. Konrad shook it off, and a few innings later, hit a grand slam. That sums up a lot about him, I think.

Around Baseball:

• [Baseball Nation] Edwin Jackson Trade Sends Righty, Mark Teahen To Blue Jays For Jason Frasor, Zach Stewart - According to what I've seen, it's (sort of?) a three way trade between the White Sox, the Blue Jays, and the red Cardinals. Edwin Jackson's second three-way trade, and he'll be on his third team in less than a year.

• [MLB.com] Angels' Santana spins no-hitter against Indians - While Ervin Santana may have been on his game, the Indians defense was not- five errors? Ouch.

• [Yahoo! Sports] Pirates brass file complaint over 19-inning loss - Is there really anything that can be done about it at this point?

• [HardballTalk] The Cubs tried to deal Carlos Zambrano to the Yankees - I'm curious how that phone call went. "Sure, he's making $18 million and his ERA is 4.70.... But he knows how to win! Hello? Hello? I think my phone dropped the signal..."

Hey, and the Mariners finally won a game! Hooray.
