ANAHEIM, Calif. -- There's so much more A.J. Pierzynski would like to say.
They don't have a contraption at Wrigley Field that measures the loudest ovations, but Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster has a pretty good feel for these things.
An unearned run against Aaron Laffey caused by his own throwing error ended the scoreless streak by Cleveland Indians starters at 44 1/3 innings but didn't interrupt their string of dominant outings.
Backed by Stephen Drew's career-high four hits, Brandon Webb became the majors' first nine-game winner, and the host Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Colorado Rockies 8-5 on Thursday.
