 Diamondbacks’ week in review  Links1
Since last report, Arizona was outscored by the opposition more than two-to-one - a total of 30-14 - but still managed to post a winning record, taking three of the five games. Take that, run differential!

He’s hitting better since the break, but it will take a huge finish to salvage his season. Remember that start Orlando Hudson had? Well, his numbers are now remarkably similar to what he did in 2006.

HISTORY MADE: Bonds Hits 755. A-Rod hits 500

History was two-fold today, as Barry Bonds has just hit home run #755 off Clay Ensley in San Diego in the top of the 2nd inning to tie Henry Aaron as the all-time home run leader. On the same day, Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player in history to hit 500 home runs. Rodriguez is seen as the man most likely to catch Bonds during his career.

Hensley, who gave up No. 755 to Bonds, had minor league steroid suspension

In a hilarious bout of irony, the man who ended up giving up the 755th home run of the Giants Barry Bonds was none other than the San Diego Padres Clay Hensley, a former Giants draft pick who had been suspended for steroid usage in the minor leagues.
