Clark, Young lift D-Backs over D-Rays

Baseball Betting Lines

06/20/2007 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Young's two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning capped a late rally and sent Arizona to a 10-8 victory over Tampa Bay in the middle contest of a three-game interleague set.

Conor Jackson began the frame with a single, then Chad Tracy flew out. Young stepped in and lifted a 2-2 pitch deep into the seats in left field to give Arizona the comeback win.

Al Reyes (1-1), who served up the home run, took the loss and the blown save. He allowed four runs in 1 1/3 innings of relief, including two homers.

Carlos Quentin homered, scored three runs and drove in three for the D-Backs, who have won four of five. Tony Clark delivered a game-tying two-run homer, while Mark Reynolds, Orlando Hudson and Eric Byrnes each knocked in a run in the win.

Brandon Lyon (5-2) pitched a perfect 10th inning to earn the win.

Akinori Iwamura finished 3-for-5 with a homer, two RBI and three runs scored for the Devil Rays, who saw their two-game win streak halted in a late-game collapse. Carl Crawford had two RBI, Ty Wigginton added a two-run homer and Jonny Gomes collected two hits with an RBI in the losing effort.

Down by six runs, Arizona began its comeback in the sixth on Quentin's leadoff blast to center and Hudson's RBI single which made it an 8-4 contest.

Jay Witasick entered the game in the seventh with the Rays nursing a solid four-run lead, but wound up helping the home team trim the deficit further. Quentin picked up his third run batted in with a two-out bloop single to center to score Tracy for an 8-5 contest, then Byrnes singled home Quentin to cut the Arizona deficit to two. Witasick walked Stephen Drew to load the bases and exited for Gary Glover, who recovered to retire Hudson on a daring 3-2 pitch on the outside corner.

Glover pitched a scoreless eighth, then yielded to Reyes in the ninth. He gave up a one-out walk to Quentin, and Clark evened the score with a homer into the seats in right. Byrnes followed with an infield single, but Drew fouled out and Hudson struck out swinging to keep the game tied heading into extra innings.

Iwamura led off the game and took Arizona starter Doug Davis over the wall in left for a 1-0 Tampa lead. Two batters later, Davis hit Crawford and almost plunked Carlos Pena in the head for a wild pitch that moved Crawford to second. Pena drew a walk, then Young's single scored Crawford. Gomes laced a base hit up the middle which boosted the lead to 3-0.

Arizona loaded the bases with one out in the bottom half of the inning on Drew's double and walks to Hudson and Jackson, then picked up a run as Tampa starter J.P. Howell walked Reynolds to make it 3-1. Young and Chris Snyder both fanned, though, to limit further damage.

The Rays took a 5-1 lead on Crawford's two-run single in the second, and upped their lead to six runs on Wigginton's two-run homer in the fourth.

It was 7-2 when Quentin grounded into a fielder's choice to score Young with one out in the home half of the fourth.

Iwamura's sacrifice fly to deep center field with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth made it 8-2.

Game Notes

Tampa had won the last seven meetings dating back to 2004...Davis allowed nine hits and seven runs over four innings, while Howell yielded nine hits and four runs with four strikeouts and four walks in 5 1/3 innings...Game time was 4:05.
