Cody! Cody!


Make that 6-0 in extra-inning wins!

Cody Ross hit a towering fly ball to center field in the bottom of the 10th inning tonight at Chase Field as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Colorado 3-2 to pull within one game of the Rockies in the National League West Division.

The fly ball eventually landed in the glove of Rockies' center fielder Dexter Fowler, but the damage was done as the sacrifice fly allowed A.J. Pollock to scamper home from third base with the winning run.

Pollock was a busy dude in this one, going 3 for 5 with a home run, two runs scored and one run batted in. He singled in the 10th inning, stole second and then reached third on a Rockies' error.

Arizona moves to 14-10 on the season, while the Rockies fall to 15-9. J.J. Putz (2-0) gets the win in relief, while Edgmer Escalona (1-1) is saddled with the loss.

Up 2-1 in the four-game series, Arizona goes after the series win tomorrow when they send Pat Corbin (2-0) to the mound.
