Tommy Pham lined a two-run double in the 11th inning after Ketel Marte hit a tying homer in the ninth, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers.
"As you can see, this team has a lot of heart," said Pham, who was traded from the New York Mets at the deadline. "I’m just trying to contribute, do what I can to help the team win, do my part and go from there."
The Rangers went up 3-1 on Nathaniel Lowe's two-run single off Kevin Ginkel in the 11th and sent out Smith for the bottom half.Geraldo Perdomo hit a two-out, run-scoring double after Marte was intentionally walked, then Pham dropped a two-run double in right-center for Arizona's eighth win in 10 games. The Diamondbacks pulled within a half-game of San Francisco for the final NL wild card spot.
"That's a tough one to let get away," Bochy said. "But nobody said this was going to be easy and we've got to bounce back." "Felt like I was throwing the ball well," Montgomery said. "Got a couple of quick outs, kept my pitch count down to give me the opportunity."The game was halted briefly in the seventh inning as water from a passing storm leaked through the roof in front of home plate.
