Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 5: Aaron Hill belted a tiebreaking two-run homer to cap a three-run eighth inning as visiting Arizona rallied past Milwaukee.
Miguel Montero singled in the tying run in the eighth right before Hill sent a 1-0 fastball from Brandon Kintzler (1-1) over the fence in left-center to make a winner out of Evan Marshall (1-0), who struck out two over 1 1/3 perfect innings in his major-league debut. Brad Ziegler worked a flawless eighth and Addison Reed followed suit with a pair of strikeouts in the ninth for his ninth save.
Kintzler was charged with all three eighth-inning runs as the Brewers wasted a five-run first inning and became the last team in the majors to lose a game in which they scored at least four runs (18-1). Logan Schafer, Scooter Gennett and Lyle Overbay all finished with two hits and scored during Milwaukee’s early offensive outburst.
After Gerardo Parra singled to lead off the game and the umpires overturned a call that he was picked off first, Paul Goldschmidt rewarded Arizona manager Kirk Gibson’s successful challenge with a two-run shot. Milwaukee stormed back with all of its runs – four of which were unearned – in the bottom half of the frame after shortstop Chris Owings’ throw on a routine two-out grounder by Khris Davis handcuffed Goldschmidt at first.
Following the error, Jean Segura lifted a single to shallow left-center to plate Overbay and Schafer made it 5-2 with a two-run double just over the outstretched glove of Parra in right. Arizona starting pitcher Josh Collmenter drove in A.J. Pollock with a groundout in the fifth and Owings opened the sixth with his first career homer, setting the stage for the dramatic ending.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Goldschmidt logged his fourth straight multi-hit effort by going 3-for-5 and is 16-for-35 during an eight-game hitting streak. … The Brewers fell to 4-10 in their last 14 games against the Diamondbacks and 6-12 in their last 18 home games versus Arizona. … Marshall was promoted from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday to take the roster spot of RHP J.J. Putz, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right forearm tightness.
