Diamondbacks Sneak Past Orioles, 8-7
Arizona first baseman Mark Grace made his presence felt in the 8-7 Diamondbacks triumph over the Baltimore Orioles. Grace went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Arizona reliever Kelvim Escobar picked up the win to move to 4-1. Roger McDowell suffered the loss. Danny Patterson earned save number 12.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Bret Barberie came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Baltimore pitcher T J Mathews, he hit a 1-2 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Arizona on top, 8-7.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Barberie.

The win boosts the Diamondbacks to 25-24. The loss puts the Orioles at 21-26.
