Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Webb is on an incredible tear as of late.

According to the Associated Press, "The reigning NL Cy Young award winner pitched his second shutout in a row to extend his scoreless inning streak to a club-record 33 Saturday night and lead the Diamondbacks to their 17th victory in 20 games, 1-0 over the Washington Nationals... Webb's five-hitter followed a three-hit, 3-0 complete-game victory at Los Angeles last Sunday." So how long can he keep this scoreless streak going?

Dang, it's really starting to look like he can make a run at Hershiser's mark.

The streak is over. Webb gave up a run in the first inning yesterday, halting the scoreless run at 42 innings. Ultimately, he surrendered two runs and five hits in seven innings, striking out five in a 3-2 Arizona win over the Brewers.

The more important streak, his winning streak is now at 6 games. Does he still have a shot at claiming the Cy Young award for the 2nd consecutive year? 14-8 record and a 2.63 ERA, leads NL in ERA, innings pitched, complete games, shutouts, and is 2nd in Ks.

Does he still have a shot at claiming the Cy Young award for the 2nd consecutive year?

I think so, an apparently, so does Webb.

"I finished up pretty strong last year, and I feel pretty strong right now," he recently told the Associated Press. "I'd say it's pretty comparable... The scoreless innings obviously brought my ERA down a ton (from 3.38 to 2.63). But the wins that come with it have also helped out a lot in that regard, I would think."

Now Webb's winning streak is over as well, courtesy of the San Diego Padres.

According to the Associated Press, "Webb (14-9) allowed a season-high six earned runs in 5 1-3 innings and had his six-game winning streak snapped. It was his shortest outing since June 22, when he lasted five innings in a 7-1 loss to Baltimore." Proof positive that even the best hurlers have off days.

too bad...but I think there is a $120-$150 mil contract in his future...so it's okay right?...

He's got a 2.83 ERA, just finished up a six-game winning streak and had a run of 42 scoreless innings - and he's just 14-9. Blows my mind.
