PHOENIX (AP) — Ryan Roberts’ grand slam capped a six-run 10th inning that gave the Arizona Diamondbacks the most amazing of their 48 come-from-behind victories this season, a 7-6 triumph over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night.
The Dodgers had scored five runs in their half of the 10th and retired the first two batters in Arizona’s half of the inning.
But the Diamondbacks loaded the bases and scored a run on an error. Los Angeles closer Javy Guerra (2-1) came on and walked in a run, then Roberts lined the first pitch he saw over the fence in left field. It was Guerra’s second blown save in 23 tries.
Micah Owings (8-0) got the victory despite his awful 10th, which included his throwing error that allowed the first run to score.
The victory keeps alive Arizona’s hopes to open the first round of the playoffs at home.
