Smoltz takes mound against Diamondbacks

Jul 28, 2007 - 2:04 PM Atlanta (54-50) at Arizona (57-48) 3:55 pm EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- John Smoltz will look to continue his recent success when the Atlanta Braves square off against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second game of a three-game series Saturday.

Since coming off a stint on the disabled list on July 18, Smoltz has been outstanding, allowing a run and 12 hits with 15 strikeouts in 14 innings over two starts.

In his last time out, Smoltz yielded two runs - one earned - and seven hits in seven innings of a 4-2 win at the San Francisco Giants on Monday.

The Diamondbacks will counter with Doug Davis (7-10, 4.13), who is 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA in his last three starts. The lefthander gave up three runs and five hits with eight strikeouts in a 4-3 victory over the Florida Marlins on Monday.

After relinquishing a 7-0 lead, Tony Clark hit a game-winning home run in the 11th inning to lift Arizona to an 8-7 triumph over Atlanta on Friday. It was the seventh straight win for the Diamondbacks.

Arizona's offense has been extremely hot recently, scoring 32 runs in its last four contests.
