Dan Haren Finally Rewarded with First Win

Going into Wednesday’s game, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Dan Haren had made three starts and had given up a total of four earned runs, but had a record of 0-3. The Diamondbacks just could not seem to score with Haren on the mound, scoring just one run behind their ace in his first three games.

Wednesday they found a way to get a couple runs in support of Haren and he did the rest.  Haren found a way to get his first win of the season, tossing seven shutout innings against the Colorado Rockies.

When Haren left the game it was tied 0-0, but his teammates rallied just enough in the seventh inning to reward Haren for his efforts on the mound this time. It took a clutch hit by pinch hitter Ryan Roberts to break the tie and give Haren a lead in the game.

Haren was impressive once again, scattering six hits, walking two, and striking out nine Rockies while improving his record to 1-3 on the year.
