National League Game Summary - Arizona at San Diego

Final Score: Arizona 3 - San Diego 0

San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Doug Davis was perfect through six innings and wound up giving up just two hits to help the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 3-0 win over the San Diego Padres in the second of three games at Petco Park.

Davis (4-5) had a perfect game going until Brian Giles punched a two-out single in the seventh. Davis lasted 7 2/3 innings and was charged with two hits and two walks along with eight strikeouts.

"The ball that Giles hit, it was a mistake," said Davis about the hit. "It was suppossed to be down and away. Still, it wasn't a bad pitch, but it was elevated."

Alex Romero drove in a pair of runs while Mark Reynolds had an RBI and a run scored for the Diamondbacks, who have won four of their last five games.

Chris Young, who made his first start since getting hit in the face by a line drive off the bat of St. Louis' Albert Pujols on May 21, breaking his nose, went five innings and gave up two hits and two walks along with eight strikeouts. Clay Hensley (1-2) got the loss for giving up three runs -- two earned -- in two-thirds of an inning.

"He pitched a great game," said Padres manager Bud Black about Davis. "They busted through in that one inning and that was the game."

The Diamondbacks got the only runs of the game in the sixth inning. Hensley started on the mound and got the first out, but then gave up consecutive singles to Conor Jackson and Tony Clark to put runners at the corners. Reynolds then hit a grounder to third that Kevin Kouzmanoff couldn't make a play on and Jackson crossed the plate.

After Chris Snyder walked to load the bases, Romero punched a single to center that scored Clark and Reynolds for a 3-0 advantage.

Davis, meanwhile, cruised through the first six innings as he struck out six while inducing eight ground outs and four flyouts on just 81 pitches.

In the seventh, Davis got Scott Hairston to strike out swinging and Edgar Gonzalez to ground out weakly to second, but Giles plunked a 2-2 pitch into center field to break up the prefect game. Davis got out of the inning by striking out Adrian Gonzalez.

In the eighth, Kouzmanoff grounded out to start the frame, but Chase Headley beat out a dribble down the third base line and Khalil Greene followed with a walk. Davis then got Nick Hundley to fly out, but walked Cla Meredith and he was pulled for Jon Rauch.

The second pitch Rauch threw to Hairston was drilled to deep right-center, but Romero preserved the shutout by making a beautiful running catch at the wall.

Brandon Lyon then retired the Padres in order in the ninth to pick up his 22nd save of the season.
