PHOENIX, Aug. 21 \u2014 A pair of rallies, one with one out in the bottom of the ninth and the other with two outs in the bottom of the 11th, saw the Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a thrilling 4\u20133 victory over the Texas Rangers<\/a> Monday night. Second baseman Ketel Marte<\/a><\/strong> belted a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth off Aroldis Chapman<\/a><\/strong> to tie the game. After the Rangers scored two in the top of the 11th, a one-run double by third baseman Geraldo Perdomo<\/a><\/strong> and a two-run walk-off double by left fielder Tommy Pham<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 both with two outs \u2014 won the game for the home nine.<\/p>\n \u201cThat was a pretty emotional team win and a great team moment there,\u201d manager Torey Lovullo<\/a><\/strong> said. \u201c\u2026we didn\u2019t particularly play our best game early, but we kept fighting. That\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve noticed about this team \u2014 they fight and compete.\u201d<\/p>\n The comeback spoiled a dominant outing by Rangers starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery<\/a><\/strong>, who scattered four hits across eight scoreless innings, walking one while striking out six. Only one Diamondback reached second base against Montgomery, and he did so thanks to a passed ball by catcher Jonah Heim<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Diamondbacks used an opener, lefty reliever Joe Mantiply<\/a><\/strong>. He gave up a single to second baseman Marcus Semien<\/a><\/strong> before forcing two straight grounders to second by shortstop Corey Seager<\/a><\/strong> and first baseman Nathaniel Lowe<\/a><\/strong>. In both cases, the play was slow to develop, so the relay from second was too late to get a double play. In came righty Scott McGough<\/a><\/strong>, who struck out right fielder Adolis Garcia<\/a><\/strong> to retire the side. McGough pitched a 1-2-3 second, striking out designated hitter Mitch Garver<\/a><\/strong> and left fielder Robbie Grossman<\/a><\/strong> before retiring Heim on a fly to left.<\/p>\n Montgomery faced the minimum across the first three innings despite a one-out walk to third baseman Buddy Kennedy<\/a><\/strong> in the first. He induced the next hitter \u2014 Pham \u2014 to ground into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play. Montgomery struck out first baseman Christian Walker<\/a><\/strong> for the first out of the second. Left fielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr.<\/strong><\/a> lined to center for the second out. For the last out of the second and all three of the third, Montgomery induced groundouts.<\/p>\nDiamondbacks, Rangers Trade Zeroes<\/h3>\n
