The rookie from Reno gets a win


Arizona Diamondbacks


Rookie Evan Marshall, in his first relief appearance since being called up from Reno, throws 19 pitches -- 15 for strikes and gets the win as the Arizona Diamondbacks even the series at 1-1 with a 7-5 victory tonight in Milwaukee over the Brewers.

Marshall took over for Josh Collmenter in the sixth inning and retired one batter and then shutdown  the Brewers 1-2-3 in the seventh to put himself in line for the win. Brad Ziegler pitched a scoreless eighth and Allison Reed picked up the save in the ninth.

Paul Goldschmidt, Chris Owings and Aaron Hill homered for Arizona (12-24), while the Brewers (22-12) lose for just the 12th time this year.

Arizona will try to win the series tomorrow as Bronson Arroyo (2-2) takes the mound, looking for his third win of the year.
