The Arizona Diamondbacks and Washington Nationals played a wild game on Thursday night as both teams battled back and forth in the late innings and into extra innings.  Good news for the Diamondbacks fans though, the D-backs were able to come out on top with the 7-5 victory.

I had a big nice write up that I wrote during the eighth and ninth innings.  I sure wish I had waiting lol. Basically Dan Haren was going for the complete game shutout but let the first two runners on base and then Brandon Lyon allowed two runs to score.  In the end the game went into the 11th innings before the D-backs were able to hold on and get the victory.  Chad Qualls ended up with the victory and is now 2-6 on the season.

Chad Tracy led the team with two rbi in the game while a slew of hitters had one rbi each.  Stephen Drew, Orlando Hudson, Mark Reynolds, Mike Montero, and Alex Romero all had one rbi each.  Great output but the offense.  Of course they scored five runs in extra innings so it wasn’t like they didn’t have the chances to score a lot of runs.

The D-backs will now open up a series against the Philadelphia Phillies.  Diamondbacks Blog
