Reggie Sanders batted cleanup for Arizona in Games 1 and 2. Danny Bautista hit fourth in Game 3. Greg Colbrunn had the honors in Game 4. And Finley batted fourth in Game 5.

Is that the first time a team has used four different cleanup hitters in a five-game series?

“I don’t know,” Brenly said. “We’ve tried to stack a lineup where we put our best on-base percentage guys ahead of our hottest hitter. Right now Steve Finley is our hottest hitter.”

The temperature outside was 91 degrees when the game started, so the Bank One Ballpark roof was closed for the game .... Against Schilling in the series, Mark McGwire was 0 for 6 with five strikeouts .... Matt Morris gave up only 13 home runs in 2161/3 innings in the regular season. Sanders’ home run off Morris was the seventh to land in the Friday’s Front Row restaurant eating area.
