PHOENIX, Apr. 24 \u2014 They had one extra-base hit, gave up ten hits, grounded into two more double plays than their opponents, scored the go-ahead run on a throw that hit the diving runner in the ribs, and had a relief pitcher catch a ninth-inning foul popup on the warning track, but the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> gritted out a messy 5\u20134 victory over the Kansas City Royals<\/a> Monday night.<\/p>\n That relief pitcher was Andrew Chafin<\/a><\/strong>, who salvaged the win after receiving a blown save in the top of the eighth. Manager Torey Lovullo<\/a><\/strong> \u201cdidn\u2019t love\u201d Chafin calling off first baseman Christian Walker<\/a><\/strong> and catcher Gabriel Moreno<\/a><\/strong> to snag the foul ball. \u201cIn fact, I don\u2019t love it at all, but he caught the ball, so I\u2019ll take the out,\u201d Lovullo said. Walker, however, surprised reporters by telling them that he \u201cfelt real comfortable\u201d with Chafin motoring to the track to make the catch. \u201cThat guy power-shags in the outfield every day,\u201d Walker said with a smile.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been my dream to make a Top Ten play,\u201d the always jovial Chafin told reporters. \u201cObviously, that\u2019s not even close. But I\u2019m always ready to jump off the mound and try to make a play. (Walker) was playing deep\u2026I saw that when I came set before the pitch. He was way back and would be coming in full speed at the rail. I\u2019m just trying to look out for him so he doesn\u2019t have to fall into the dugout trying to catch it.\u201d<\/p>\nRoyals Take Early Lead, Diamondbacks Respond<\/h3>\n
