Totally out of control. He's actually on a roll from last September, having won his final two starts of the 2007 season. <br /><br /><span id="fullpost">According to Elias, Webb is just one consecutive win behind former <a href="http://padres.mlb.com/" target="_blank">San Diego Padres</a> hurler <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hawkian01.shtml" target="_blank">Andy Hawkins</a>, won his first 10 in 1985.<br /><br />Webb can thank not only his sweet sinker, but also <a href="http://www.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=452220" target="_blank">Stephen Drew</a> for his latest shroud of run support, as the shortstop singled in the first, tripled in the third and doubled in the fifth against <a href="http://rockies.mlb.com/" target="_blank">Colorado Rockies</a> starter <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=346871">Aaron Cook</a>, driving in one run. Sadly, Drew had two shots at the cycle but ended up doubling in the sixth and reaching on an error in the eighth.<br /><br />You can see Webb in action again this Wednesday against the <a href="http://marlins.mlb.com/" target="_blank">Florida Marlins</a>.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/sports/articles/0509NEWdbgamer0509.html" target="_blank">Arizona Republic</a>] | [<a href="http://www.azsnakepit.com/2008/5/16/518908/diamondbacks-8-rockies-4" target="_blank">AZ Snakepit</a>] | [<a href="http://shysterball.blogspot.com/2008/05/and-that-happened_16.html" target="_blank">Shyster Ball</a>]<br /></span>Soozehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06244595602514803118noreply@blogger.com
