However, thanks to a Justin Upton bases clearing double and some patience at the plate, the Dbacks game back from a 4-1 deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4.

By the time the 4th inning was over, Ryan Roberts and Kelly Johnson had already batted four times each. They had a 9-0 lead after 3 innings. They were up 12-4 after 4 innings. Of course starter Zach Duke couldn't get his grandma out in the 5th inning and by the time he left with 2 outs in the 5th, he had already surrendered more hits that the Arizona Diamondbacks had on offense. Eventually they held on for a 12-9 victory to win 3 of 4 in Miami against the Florida Marlins.
