Diamondbacks open 2nd half with a thud!

The Arizona Diamondbacks opened the second half of the season with a thud as they bow to the Cubs 8-1 in Chicago. Ian Kennedy gives up six runs in five innings -- including two home runs by the home team. The Diamondbacks will need to sweep the next two to win the series. Collmenter sent back to the bullpen and Joe Saunders is back and will take the mound today.

In the meantime, the LA Dodgers win again. Not a good start. Come on, D'backs!
