Diamondbacks living on the edge

The Arizona Diamondbacks are making a habit of relinquishing the lead in the ninth inning and sending the game into extra innings, but for the second day in a row they figured out a way to eventually  pull out  the win.

After knocking off the Giants 6-4 in 11 innings on Tuesday night in San Francisco, the Diamondbacks' David Hernandez gives up a home run today to the Giants in the bottom of the ninth to deadlock the game at 2-2.

But in the top of the 10th-inning, pinch-hitter Wil Nieves knocks in the game-winner for the Diamondbacks on a sacrifice fly to beat the Giants, 3-2, and Arizona wins the three-game series, 2 games to 3.

Hernandez, despite giving up the home run, gets the victory today to improve to 1-1, while Matt Reynolds gets the save, his second of the season. The Diamondbacks improve to 12-9 and complete the nine-game road trip at 4-5.

Arizona returns home to face Colorado, the National League Western Division leader, on Thursday night. The Rockies improve to 14-7 today with a 6-5 win over the Atlanta Braves.
