Notes & reviews

hard grounder off the glove of third baseman Mark Reynolds; he ran down the line to retrieve the ball in foul territory while two runners scored; Reynolds threw to third trying to get Yunel Escobar but the throw was wild and fielded by pitcher Juan Cruz near the plate; Cruz threw to second and the ball went into center field, allowing Escobar to score
Diamondbacks second baseman Orlando Hudson left with strained ligaments in his left wrist after colliding with Brian McCann during the previous play; he had surgery later that night when it was discovered he had a dislocated bone in his wrist; out for the rest of the season
Conor Jackson called for interference
