Diamondbacks Come Back Late, Nip Athletics
Oakland right fielder Jay Buhner had a good game, even if his team did not. The Athletics dropped a 7-6 decision to Arizona at Bank One Ballpark. Buhner slugged 2 home runs. At 39-34, the Diamondbacks are currently first in the United League West Division.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the ninth. With Arizona trailing 6-4, Tony Gwynn hit a fastball from Jason Bere to left-center for a bases-clearing double. Just like that, the Diamondbacks had a walk-off win.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Gwynn said.
