Last Minute Magic
The Diamondbacks offense saved their best for last. Down 5-0 in the bottom of the ninth, the DBacks send seven batters to the plate against three Brewers pitchers. All seven reach base, the last being Connor Jackson who follows a Hudson double with a two-run single that plates two and gives Arizona a 6-5 win. Mota, Shouse and Torres combined to allow six hits and a walk, including two doubles. Arizona only had five hits before the ninth.
The win keeps the Dodgers 1 1/2 games back and returns the DBacks to the .500 level. The Diamondbacks offense may be coming back as they've scored six runs in four of their last six games.

You have to feel for Manny Parra leaving with a 5-0 lead and losing the game because of shoddy bullpen work. For once Eric Gagne had no part of the fiasco having pitched an inning of scoreless relief.
