Diamondbacks make comeback over Brewers

The Arizona Diamondbacks only managed one good inning in their game against Milwaukee. Unfortunately for the Brewers, it was the ninth.
In one of the more improbable victories in team history, Conor Jackson singled home the winning run and the Diamondbacks overcame a five-run deficit in the final inning to defeat the Brewers 6-5 yesterday.

After being shut out for eight innings, the Diamondbacks sent seven men to the plate in the ninth, and every one reached base.
“Hopefully this will kind of spark us and get us going,” said Chad Tracy, whose three-run, pinch-hit double was pivotal. “That looked like the old Diamondbacks right there, battling back and never giving up.”
The victory lifted the Diamondbacks to 43-43 and kept them 1 1/2 games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Afterward, they still weren’t quite sure how they had done it.
“I was almost in shock, basically,” Arizona manager Bob Melvin said. “We played possum for eight innings, and in the ninth inning we surprised them. Don’t ask me.”
For the Brewers, the loss put an agonizing end on a 5-5 road trip to Atlanta, Minnesota and Arizona.
“It was a very tough loss for us today, especially going into the ninth inning 5-0,” said closer Salomon Torres (4-2), who blew his third save in 18 chances. “It appears to be the deal was sealed, but apparently it wasn’t.”
Elsewhere in the NL it was: Los Angeles 5 Houston 2; San Francisco 8 Chicago 3; Philadelphia 4 Atlanta 1; Cincinnati 5 Washington 3; New York 11 St. Louis 1; and Colorado 6 Florida 5 (11 innings).
