PHOENIX (AP)—Brandon Webb pitched seven shutout innings for his career-high and major league-leading 19th victory Thursday night in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres.

It was the sixth straight winning start for Webb (19-4), giving him eight wins in his last 11 starts. He allowed three hits with eight strikeouts, both tying season bests, as the Diamondbacks completed a three-game sweep.

Arizona won for the eighth time in the last 10 games and maintained a two-game lead over Los Angeles in the NL West. The Diamondbacks improved to 34-16 against division opponents.

Tony Clark hit a sacrifice fly in the second inning and Connor Jackson had a two-run double in the fifth, both off Chad Reineke (1-1).

Brandon Lyon pitched the ninth allowing Edgar Gonzalez’s two-out RBI single

Yeah, pretty much time to quash any talk of Sabathia for the Cy Young (although he has been fantastic).
