Mat Latos fired eight innings of one-run ball in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks. It was a big outing from Latos on a day when the bullpen really needed a break. The young right-hander gave up just five hits (all singles) and no walks while fanning six batters. He has allowed a total of six runs over his last six starts, lowering his ERA from 3.38 to 2.93 in the process. He'll try to keep things going next week in a crucial NL Central showdown against the Cardinals.
