*Haren dominant in D'backs win over Brewers* ============================================

By COLIN FLY AP Sports Writer

MILWAUKEE(AP) -- Dan Haren struck out 11 to win his third straight start and Justin Upton hit a homer to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Saturday night.

With Diamondbacks ace Brandon Webb sidelined with a nagging shoulder strain, Haren (3-3) has picked up the slack and Arizona is beginning to hit, winning five of the last seven.

With Haren, the Diamondbacks know they don't need to score much. He scattered one run off four hits over eight innings and has given up three runs over his last three starts to lower his ERA to 1.47. Chad Qualls pitched around a one-out double in the ninth for his sixth save.

Brewers starter Braden Looper (2-1) took the loss.
