Dan Haren (4-2), Arizona's big offseason acquisition in a trade with Oakland, yielded two runs and five hits in seven innings. Mark DeRosa hit a liner off Haren's glove in the third and when the Diamondbacks' right-hander chased the ball behind the mound, DeRosa beat his throw with a slide for an infield single -- Chicago's only hit in the first four innings. Chicago didn't get another until the fifth, when DeRosa doubled with two outs. (Updated 05/09/2008).
