Ketel Marte hit a tying solo homer with two outs in the ninth, and Randal Grichuk won it with a pinch-hit RBI double in the 10th, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a wild 12-11 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. The teams split the first two games of the series, which both went into extra innings. Grichuk ripped the second pitch he saw from Drew Smyly (2-2) into the left-center gap, easily scoring Christian Walker from second as D-backs players poured onto the field to celebrate.
The Arizona Diamondbacks took things down to the wire in their series finale against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday afternoon. Having gone 0-for-4 entering the final frame, Suarez hung in and delivered in his fifth plate appearance, reaching out and putting an 86-mph sweeper into no man's land over in shallow left field. The blooper was more than enough to bring in both Christian Walker and Ketel Marte, who reached on a pair of walks earlier in the inning.
Corbin Carroll homered on the second pitch of the game, Merrill Kelly tossed six solid innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks gave manager Torey Lovullo his 500th career victory with a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Lovullo, who is in his eighth season and is the longest-serving manager in franchise history, reached the milestone after Arizona had dropped five in a row. "The players are the ones that win these games," Lovullo said.
