Golden Boy ignites D'backs



Rookie Paul Goldschmidt hit a grand slam homer over the right field fence off Brewers starter Shaun Marcum in the bottom of the fifth inning at Chase Field tonight as the Arizona Diamondbacks went on to beat Milwaukee 8-1, capturing their first victory in the National League Division Series.

D'backs starter Josh Collmenter allowed just two hits in seven innings of work before giving away to the bullpen as David Hernandez blanked the Brewers in the eighth and J.J. Putz closed the door in the ninth inning. Goldschmidt, who hit 8 homers during the regular season -- after his call up from the minors, becomes the third rookie to hit a grand slam in postseason play. It'll be two lefties going tomorrow -- Randy Wolff for the Brewers and Joe Saunders for the Diamondbacks.
