The Arizona Diamondbacks waited for the umpires to sort out a wild ending after baserunning follies on the final play, and wound up beating the Cincinnati Reds 4-3 in 10 innings Sunday. Of course, he still has 52 more games to pick up that steal. Jarrod Saltalamacchia then put down a sacrifice bunt and Mattheus intentionally walked Jake Lamb to load the bases.
“It was very encouraging seeing Raisel go out there and throw a second consecutive quality start and really look like a guy who is comfortable out there that second and third time through the order”, Price said. Confusing the issue was the fact that a security guard picked up the ball in center field moments after Owings’ hit.
“I was kind of anxious, but thank God we got the win”, Peralta said. Goldschmidt, hitting.332, has three hits and one RBI in his last 27 at-bats. Just to show he wasn’t done, he later singled, walked and ultimately scored the game-winning run. Peralta scored on Saltalamacchia’s two-out single.
Johnson won four consecutive National League Cy Young Awards and a World Series championship, threw a ideal game at age 40, and as he noted, killed a bird with a pitch during his eight seasons – over two stints – with the Diamondbacks.
Former closer Addison Reed came out for the D-Backs in the seventh and was greeted by a Suarez double and a single by Barnhart to give the Reds a big scoring opportunity.
Arizona center fielder A.J. Pollock singled and stole second in the first inning before Goldschmidt doubled into the left field corner to make it 1-0. Josh Collmenter (4-6) pitched a flawless 10th inning.
Corbin lasted much longer in his seventh post-surgery start, allowing three runs on seven hits in six innings. “It was definitely an outing that I had to grind out”.
Byrd walked, but then Bruce struck out (and Byrd stole second on the third strike) and Suarez grounded out back to pitcher Daniel Hudson to end the inning. Frazier still led the league with 30 doubles heading into Sunday…. Arizona RF Yasmany Tomas, hitting. Pinch hitter Skip Schumaker bounced into a fielder’s choice where Suarez was thrown out at home. The Reds led the league with a 78.2 percent success rate; the Diamondbacks are fourth at 74.6.
NEW YORK (AP) – The Toronto Blue Jays have boosted their infield depth, acquiring Cliff Pennington and cash from the Arizona Diamondbacks for a minor leaguer.
The Big Unit is no stranger to playing the drums so there’s little doubt this will be the last time he rocks out on them. He fell behind the next batter, Paul Goldschmidt, 2-0 but struck him out on two curveballs and a fastball. Phillips lined a 3-2 pitch just over the left-field wall to make it 3-1. He’s been through many of those things. “He obviously didn’t get the hits tonight but we always want him up in those situations and we will take our chances”.
