D'backs need to remain focused in getaway game in Houston



The Arizona Diamondbacks need to take care of business again today in Houston.

The D'backs need to complete the sweep and return home for a four-game series with Miami. Arizona knocked off the lowly Astros 3-1 on Friday and on Saturday they used a nine-run fifth inning to roll over Houston, 12-4. Today's game gets underway within the hour and there's a lot of commotion going on in the Houston dugout as their manager Brad Mills was fired late yesterday, leaving the young team in search of a new manager and a new direction.  The Astros will look to interim manager  Tony DeFrancesco, the Triple-A manager in Oklahoma City, to lead them into action today.

The Diamondbacks, on the other hand, need to keep the pedal to the metal  as they send  Ian Kennedy (10-10) to the mound in hopes of grabbing the club's 62nd win, which would put them three games over the .500 mark. Go, D'backs!
