Arizona Takes 2-1 Lead in League Championship Series
Arizona Diamondbacks manager Jose Quintana knew it was a gamble to give the start to a rookie. It was a good gamble to take.

Pitching in front of a hostile crowd, 22-year-old right-hander Cody Savastand silenced the host Atlanta Braves at Turner Field today. The Diamondbacks shut out the Braves by a final score of 7-0, to give the Diamondbacks a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Savastand delivered a quality start for Arizona. The 6' 8" right-hander allowed no earned runs on 6 hits over 8 innings of work.

"I had everything working," said Savastand.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Turner Field in Atlanta.
