Arizona scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 9th to steal a 6-5 win from the Brewers on Thursday afternoon in Phoenix.
The D-Backs sent seven batters to the plate on Thursday in the final frame and all seven reached base as Milwaukee relievers couldn't record an out. Guillermo Mota gave up a pair of infield singles and a walk. Brian Shouse and Salomon Torres couldn't slam the door shut either and Milwaukee goes home from a 10 game road trip at 5-5. Conner Jackson's two run single plated the tying and winning runs. Torres blew just his 3rd save in 18 chances this season and takes the loss.
The bullpen explosion prevented Manny Parra from picking up his 7th straight win. He went six innings, giving up just 4 hits and no runs.
JJ Hardy extended his hit streak to 15 games with 4 hits that included a homer and two double.
Ben Sheets goes to the hill on Friday afternoon as Milwaukee opens up a three game set with Pittsburgh at Miller Park.
