"Another scoreless nine innings, another step toward Orel Hershiser's amazing record. Ho-hum, Brandon Webb said. 'Just two more shutouts? Oh, I should have that no problem,' Webb said facetiously, rolling his eyes. 'It's in the back pocket.' Webb tossed a two-hitter for his third straight shutout and stretched his scoreless streak to 42 innings -- the 12th-longest in baseball history -- to lead the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Atlanta Braves 4-0 on Friday night. He's 18 innings away -- two more shutouts -- from breaking Hershiser's record of 59 straight scoreless innings in 1988. 'It's still a ways off,' Webb said. 'It's going to be real tough to do. I'm just going to go out there and try to throw up zeros as much as I can.' Webb (13-8) became the first pitcher since Hershiser to go at least 40 innings without giving up a run and just the 21st pitcher in baseball history to reach that level of stinginess. 'We couldn't hit Webb,' Braves manager Bobby Cox said. 'I guess nobody can hit Webb. He's that good.'" - The Associated Press. Arizona's Brandon Webb extends scoreless innings streak to 42 with 4-0 win over Braves. 18 August 2007.
