Tony. freaking. Clark.

 

[Lefty]

Tony with the huge homer. Let's win it now!

 

[HooverDam]

Wow Tony Clark! Belts it over the RF fence, lets hope the Dbacks can get one more and finally get a win over the Drays

 

[Ryanwb]

Clark rules!

Hudson with the Golden Sombrero.

Golden Sombrero is 4 strikeouts in a game.... I only counted two

I know, I thought he had 4 for some reason, only 3 and SEVEN left on.

You know what 5 is called?

And its rarer than a pefect game.

I can't watch, both TV's are occupied. Nice little comeback we got here. I wanna see this team win after ASU's loss tonight.

A demotion to triple A?

Lyon does his job in the tenth.

Chris Young! Diamondbacks walk off winners!

Bot 10th: Arizona - C. Young homered to deep left, C. Jackson scored

Good to see! Was is a deep one?

That's like 3 games in this month he's done that for us.

Deep enough to count.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Nice win. Offense shows up late but just enough. ODog really struggled tonight, and Davis was pretty bad (nice hit for him though!), but outside of those two, great game for the most part. I didn't think they had it in them, but glad to be wrong. No sweep! Instead, let's take the series tomorrow.

Looked to be about 4-5 rows deep out to left.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

I was quite surprised by the stellar DRay defense tonight! That play that Aki made on the shot by Reynolds was just sick!

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

And this is different from the Red Sox and Yankee series how???

Cause we had a big comeback win? I am all for them cranking up the O, but they could have done it earlier against a pretty mediocre (at least it seemed so tonight) pitcher.

I don't know if this is right, but a Horn?

A "Horn" is 6 strikeouts in a game, which, according to Wikipedia has never happened in a nine-inning game (stands to reason). 5 strikeouts in a game is called the "Olympic Rings" or "Platinum Sombrero", although the latter sounds like awfully recent terminology.

I always thought 5 was referred to as a Texas Star.D'Backs pitchers have accomplished it twice (struck out the same batter 5 times in a game), I believe in 01 or 02...it was Marquis Grissom of the Dodgers, and Adam Dunn of the Reds.How I remember that, I'll never know.

 

[Stallion]

Yeah, we own you, Tampa!

 

[mjb21aztd]

glad we finally beat the drays and what a way to do it hopefully we can take the series tonight

We are taking the series right now, but it's not on TV. Tracy and Byrnes both have 3 run homers. That's now 3 home runs by Tracy since his return. 7-4 and 1 inning left.

The Texas Star!

RJ had 4 of the Ks vs. Dunn.

Like I said I think there have been more pefect games than 5 K games.

 

[ArizonaSportsFan]

Props to the DBacks for taking the series. Now, go get 3 against the Orioles! And then prepare for LA.

 

[mjb21aztd]

guess I was a little late on my post glad the dbacks took the series over drays and finally got over the slump they have had against this team for somereason. Now lets do a good job in the next series and continue playing like we are
