Eaton walk-off homer gives D'backs a win

Paul Goldschmidt, already 0 for 4 for the night, stood in the on-deck circle in the bottom of the ninth inning at Chase Field tonight, awaiting his turn at the plate. The score: The Orioles 6, the Diamondbacks 6.

The Arizona first baseman had just rushed off the field at the conclusion of the top of the ninth inning. His teammate Brad Ziegler had just blown a save, thanks to a sacrifice fly by Baltimore's Nick  Markakis which tied the game at 6-all.

Goldy had thoughts of bringing the D'backs back -- of putting the game on his shoulders, once again.

This time Goldy didn't get the chance as he watched Adam Eaton crush the first pitch over the right centerfield fence for the game winner, giving the Diamondbacks a dramatic 7-6 victory.

Ziegler moves to 6-1 on the season, Arizona improves to 60-57 and the Diamondbacks avoid falling further behind in the NL West as the Dodgers won 4-2 over the New York Mets in Los Angeles tonight.

Eaton finished the night with a 2 for 5 performance, scored twice and knocked in two runs. Aaron Hill homered for the third straight game as Arizona recorded its 33rd comeback victory of the season and 23rd win in its last at bat.
