He hit a home run, two triples, a single, and four RBIs against the Padres Friday at Chase Field. -- Photo by Geoffrey McAllister/The Arizona Republic

D-Backs complete sweep of Dodgers

It was a special day at the ball park in Phoenix today - yes, the Diamondbacks defeated the Dodgers 4-3 and swept them in the three game series, but the dome was also opened moments before the opening pitch. I was told its not very common the dome is open during day games - I guess it's usually too hot. The light was great, and so was the 75 degree weather.

Commenting on the above caption - upon closer inspection, it almost looks like Hudson avoided the tag. It at least appears that way with the four frames I was able to capture. Look for yourself.
