Braden Looper (Brewers):
Looper (2-1) retired the first 12 hitters he faced with only four balls hit out of the infield, but his perfect game went bad in a decisive fifth inning that began with three straight hits. The D-backs scored three times in the frame, including catcher Chris Snyder's two-run double, providing plenty of support for Haren (3-3).

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
Despite what he described as an erratic warmup session heading into the start, Haren dominated the Milwaukee Brewers for eight innings, striking out 11 in a 4-1 victory at Miller Park. After the D-backs provided Haren (3-3) with a single run of run support through his first three starts combined, the offense did plenty to help the right-hander win his third straight game.

Russell Branyan (Mariners):
The Mariners' offense was limited to Chavez's sac fly and another home run from first baseman Russell Branyan. He hit his sixth of the season, and second in two nights, with a leadoff blast to center field in the second inning.

Jamie Moyer (Phillies):
After left-hander Jamie Moyer allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings, including allowing three runs after recording two outs in the sixth, the Phils made some big defensive plays to end the eighth, ninth and 10th to keep their chances alive.

Jason Marquis (Rockies):
