Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in 12 to salvage 1 of 3

Cody Ross singled in a run and Eric Chavez followed with a bases-clearing double as the Arizona Diamondbacks scored four runs in the top of the 12th inning and beat New York 6-2 at Yankee Stadium tonight.

Heath Bell (1-0) gets the win in relief as the Diamondbacks salvage the final game of the three-game series with the Yankees.

Shortstop Didi Gregorius, in his first at bat as a Diamondback, homered to right field on the first pitch off Phil Hughes in the third inning to give Arizona an early 1-0 lead. With the Diamondbacks up 2-1 in the bottom of the  ninth, J.J. Putz blew the save, sending the game into extra innings.

At 9-6, Arizona heads for Colorado and a three-game series with the Rockies.
