Give Brandon Webb a run or two, and he’s tough to beat. Hit three two-run homers behind him, and it’s an Arizona breeze. Eric Byrnes, Orlando Hudson and Justin Upton did just that Friday night, and the Diamondbacks extended their winning streak to seven games by beating the Colorado Rockies 8-2. Hudson said that there undoubtedly will be tough times ahead, “but I say ride the wave while it’s high.” Webb (3-0) gave up two runs on four hits in eight innings. The Arizona ace struck out six and walked one to beat the Rockies for the second time this season. In the past, Webb has struggled against Colorado. Not this year. “That’s the best I’ve felt in a long time,” he said. “I had almost all my pitches going. When I needed them, they were there.”
