Quotables
I'm ready for anything. When the game is tied and I can throw someone out, I love that. I'm always waiting for a guy running.
During BP I worked on seeing the cutoff and throwing through him. I'm happy when I can do what I did and the team wins.
There's not a better arm in baseball. He's as accurate as anyone in the outfield making those throws. It's impressive how well he throws.

Gerardo Parra made sure Trevor Cahill was a winner and gave Paul Goldschmidt a chance to feel good about his offensive contribution. Goldschmidt saw a couple of pitches to hit and he didn't miss them Thursday night, driving in a pair of runs to snap a slump and help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Francisco Giants, 4-2.
D-backs' run at playoffs must first go through Giants | foxsportsarizona.com
The Diamondbacks had enough trouble with the Giants last weekend, losing two of three games at Chase Field, and now their longtime nemesis is on a bit of a roll as a disappointing season winds down. The Giants hit six home runs a 13-5 victory in San Diego on Thursday have won six of their last 11 entering a four-game series against the D-backs at AT&T Park. Since the Diamondbacks took the NL West title from the Giants in 2011, the match has tilted toward the Bay Area. San Francisco has won the last four of the five series this season and has won the last five at Chase Field.
