PHOENIX, May 6 \u2014 Lourdes Gurriel Jr.<\/a><\/strong> went 4-for-5 with the game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth, an RBI, and two runs scored, and Pavin Smith<\/a><\/strong> drew the game-winning bases-loaded walk in the same frame to save the game for the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a>, 8\u20137, over the Washington Nationals<\/a> Saturday night.<\/p>\n This came in a messy final three half-innings where the teams combined for ten runs, including five in the top of the ninth by the Nationals. Both closers appeared in the game, combining to record one out \u2014 and that out came on a play where the offensive team did it on purpose. The final four plate appearances of the game were unofficial at-bats \u2014 a walk, a sacrifice bunt, an intentional walk, and the game-winning walk. And the two teams combined for three homers in the ninth inning.<\/p>\n \u201cWe didn\u2019t come close to drawing it up like that,\u201d a relieved but energized Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo<\/a><\/strong> exhaled after the game. \u201cThis game is awesome. It teaches you lessons every single day. Every single pitch, every single inning.\u201d He abruptly shifted gears, saying, \u201cWe won the game. I\u2019m very pleased with that.\u201d<\/p>\nDiamondbacks Score First, Nationals Respond<\/h3>\n
