Arizona right-hander Brandon Webb is one of just five pitchers in the last 45 years to start 6-0 in consecutive seasons. He opened 6-0 in 2005, en route to a 14-12 finish for a Diamondbacks team that lost 85 games. With his devastating sinker at its best, plus improved secondary pitches and a better defensive squad on the field, Webb started 8-0 with a 2.14 ERA through his first 13 starts this spring. The 27-year-old veteran was done in by three unearned runs in the first inning Saturday, and he took his first loss of the year -- a 5-0 defeat at the hands of the New York Mets and rookie Alay Soler, who tossed a two-hitter for his first career shutout. Among those five pitchers with consecutive 6-0 starts, nine of those seasons were worked by starters. Seven of them produced at least 20 wins. With better stuff and a better team in his fourth big league season, Webb probably will post his first 20-win campaign despite Saturday's setback.
