Hill supplies D'backs with winning hit in 14th inning

Aaron Hill came through in the ninth inning to tie the game and then supplied the winning RBI in the 14th inning as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Baltimore 5-4 this afternoon and end up sweeping the three-game series with the Orioles.

Hill, who had singled to left field in the ninth to knock in Gerardo Parra to get the D'backs even at 4-4, ripped a pitch up the middle off Bud Norris, the Orioles' eighth pitcher of the game, and Parra, who had walked earlier in the inning,  scampered home with the game-winning run.

Patrick Corbin (12-3), the Diamondbacks starting pitcher, went seven innings today and allowed all four runs.  Arizona used seven pitchers with Heath Bell (4-1) getting the win, but it was the pitching of Josh Collmenter who kept the Orioles at bay in this one as he pitched three innings (the 11th, 12th and 13th) of shutout ball, while striking out five batters.

Arizona improves to 62-57 and open a three-game series in Pittsburgh (71-48) on Friday against the high-flying Pirates.
