That brought up Castillo, who fouled off Boyer’s first offering before looking at four straight pitches to earn the walk-off win for Arizona.

Arcia ended up at third on the play when Arizona second baseman Jean Segura, recognizing the significance, threw the ball into the Brewers dugout before timeout was called. He has a major league-leading six multi-home run games this season. Pollock could be activated before September 1, Hale said.
The Diamondbacks grabbed the lead back quickly in the bottom half of the fourth when Tomas again homered – this time just over the wall in right – to make it 2-1. “Plus, I’m making good pitch selections, and trying to be consistent”. But Counsell pointed out to the umpires that the ball was actually still in play when Segura threw it, so after a brief conference Arcia was awarded third base and Segura was charged with an error.
“He just threw the ball in right away”.
Tomas’s 21st home run of the season cleared the right-field fence in the bottom of the fourth, giving Arizona a 2-1 lead.
Shipley gave up six runs in 5 1/3 innings of that game in his major league debut, but rebounded with six scoreless innings in a 4-2 victory at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
Kirk Nieuwenhuis matched Peralta in the bottom of the ninth, laying out in center to rob Castillo of possible extra bases, and a Corey Knebel strikeout of Chris Owings sent the game into extras. The 24-year-old OR native permitted six runs, eight hits (three homers) and four walks across 5 1/3 innings versus the Brewers and Anderson on July 25.
Shipley walked six in six-plus innings, allowing two runs and four hits. INF Will Middlebrooks (lower right leg strain) is eligible to come of the 15-day DL on August 9 and RHP Jacob Barnes (right elbow soreness) on August 10. Arizona RHP Zack Greinke (oblique) may return from the disabled list to start against the Mets in NY on Tuesday.3. The on-base skills are lacking and defense remains an issue, but he’s done enough lately to suggest that the Diamondbacks can go forward with him as their left fielder next year. OF A.J. Pollock, who suffered a fractured right elbow just before the season started, was set to hit in a local minor-league game Friday night and could make his season debut before September 1, Hale said.
Brewers: RHP Matt Garza (2-4) will make his second start of the season against Arizona.
Blaine Boyer walked in the winning run as the Brewers fell to the Diamondbacks 3-2.

Arcia has started all three games since his addition, and that is likely to continue as the Brewers expose him to the highest level.
