After yesterday's disappointing loss in Pittsburgh, the Dbacks made a huge come from behind victory (they were down 7-2). Owings had probably his worst start of the year, but the offense finally bailed the team out. Clark had a huge grand slam and Quentin delivered the go ahead RBI in the 8th.

What a great win today by the Dbacks! It's great to see us come from behind and put some major runs on the board to win. Lets win the rubber game tomorrow. RJ is on fire!

They were down 7-1 at one point. Great game. Nice grand slam by Tony. :thumbup:

I can't believe Tony Clark hit that grand slam. It seems to me like every time he comes up to base he grounds out, I was honestly shocked and started laughing that Grandpa Clark ripped that ball so far.

Tony Clark is only 34 years old and will be just 35 in June. Tony is one of the best guys the Diamondbacks have coming off the bench with power.

By the way, 2-1 Diamondbacks in the 3rd.

Quentin, Snyder, and Jackson providing the offense in the 3rd, hopefully things are looking up for them.

I still absolutely hate the win probability nonsense.

I can't believe it, Snyder actually did something with men on base. He gets 3 rbi's with a double. Too bad Byrnes was caught stealing third. Diamondbacks up 5-1.

Diamondbacks win 5-2 and take the series! Randy gets the win and Papa Grande gets another save. Valverde now has 16 saves and the great Mariano Rivera has only 3.

Nice game by Randy...10 k's...he's looking sharp again.
Not bad for an old guy with a troublesome back. Hats off to the Diamondbacks.

Not just a PR move, but a solid addition to the middle of the rotation.

And a good idea by Melvin. Putting Randy 5th has him preceeding Webb.

The old Cy Young sort of an honorary lead pitcher with the current Cy Young.
