May 9, 2008 Dan Haren allowed two runs on five hits, walked two and struck out five over seven innings, but suffered his second loss of the season to an even better Ted Lilly and the Cubs on Friday afternoon.
Our View:Haren was good enough to win in the day game at historic Wrigley field, but Ted Lilly was better. The Diamondbacks have hit a part of the schedule that will test their metal, with a road trip in Chicago before returning home to face a desperate Rockies team and then an innerleague series against Detroit.
May 9, 2008 Dan Haren will be targeting his fifth win of the season when the Diamondbacks battle the Cubs in Chicago today, according to MLB.com. Haren is 4-1 this season, with a 3.12 ERA and stellar 0.99 WHIP over 43.1 innings, with only eight walks and 36 strikeouts.
Our View:Haren is 0-1 with a 12.46 ERA at Wrigley Field, but he should be locked into your lineups today.
April 28, 2008 Dan Haren pitched into the eighth inning and hit an RBI double to help his cause in leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 5-3 victory of the Houston Astros on Monday night. Haren allowed three runs on five hits, struck out five while walking one.
Our View:Haren won his fourth game in April. The effort against the Astros on Monday night landed his ERA at 3.13, WHIP at 1.05 and he now has 29 strikeouts in 37.1 innings of work.
April 24, 2008 Dan Haren pitched his worst game of the season on Wednesday night as he allowed six runs, five earned, in just 4.2 innings against the Dodgers to pick up his first loss.
Our View:Every pitcher has a bad outing every once in a while, and this was just one of those night's for Haren. This was the first time in five starts this season that he permitted more than three runs or failed to pitch at least six innings in a game.
April 18, 2008 For the first time in four outings Dan Haren pitched more than six innings, he went seven tonight, and he held the Padres scoreless on just three hits and a walk to pick up his third victory of the season.
Our View:Haren continues his dominating start to the season with a 1.80 ERA through 25 innings during which time he has permitted only 18 hits and four walks.
