Game Three
Arizona Diamondbacks 4, Cincinnati Reds 3

Brandon Webb took the mound for the D'backs in the rubber match of the series, and Arizona expected their ace to dominate on the warm afternoon. However, after Webb plunked two batters in the fourth inning, the defending Cy Young winner was ejected from the game. Edgar Gonzalez pitched the remaining 5.1 innings for the D'backs and did exceptionally well. The young right-hander didn't allow a single run against the Reds, and Jeff DeVanon's pinch-hit single in the bottom of the ninth gave Arizona another W.

LOL, I appreciate it, Psyblast.

Thanks for checking in, guys. Sorry I haven't been updating this one nearly as often, I've been enjoying the first couple of weeks of summer. I should start updating this more and more often.

Edit: I'm an idiot. I just realized that I never loaded the Opening Day rosters... look for a new thread soon, because I have a thing about at least starting a franchise with current rosters.
