Hey, Diamondbacks! Whatever you're doing, keep it up

The Arizona Diamondbacks have it going their way, at the moment. So, whatever you're doing, D'backs...keep it up. Arizona has put the Phillies away two nights in a row at Chase Field with a 2-1 win on Thursday and a 3-2 victory on Friday. Can the D'backs win the final two games of the four-game series with the Phillies? Let's hope so.

It's been nearly six seasons since Arizona has been able to win three in a row over the Phillies.

And at Chase Field, well the Diamondbacks have tried but have yet to win three in a row this season.

But it sure has been a nice little run for the D'backs, winners of five in a row and a chance this weekend to really get the attention of their NL West opponents. Trevor Cahill will take the mound today and Brandon McCarthy will get the nod on Sunday. Good outings by both pitchers and some more timely hitting -- similar to Miguel Montero's go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning in yesterday's ball game, could ignite the D'backs to a sweep.

The Phillies will certainly counter. They'll send Cliff Lee to the mound today and follow up on Sunday with Kyle Kendrick. And will the Phillies' bats stay quiet? Let's hope so. Ryan Howard, for one, is a scary dude. Howard can change things in a hurry for the Phillies, but so far in the series he's hitless. Let's hope he continues to struggle against the Diamondbacks' pitching staff.

However you look at it, the D'backs have had a good week and sit in a first-place tie in the NL West at 21-15 with the San Francisco Giants.

It was just a week ago when the D'backs were in a tailspin and running toward a familiar .500 record.

From a 1-5 slide to a chance at six wins in row, maybe seven.

Go, D'backs!
