The way this series has gone, you knew the snakes would respond, and they did in the bottom of the fourth with a two-run homer by Miguel Montero, and a solo home run by John McDonald. The team would add three more runs in the bottom of the fifth on a three-run home run by Justin Upton. Ryan Roberts and McDonald would each add an RBI single to put the team up 10-5.

After Dustin Ackley cut the lead to 10-6 with a RBI ground out in the top of the sixth, Montero would respond with a two RBI single in the bottom of the inning, putting the team up 12-6. Roberts would add two more runs later in the inning on an inside-the-park home run. The Mariners would add two more runs to cut the lead to 14-10 in the later innings, but it was not enough to overcome the red-hot Arizona offense.

With the exception of starting pitcher Trevor Cahill, every Arizona starting position player in Wednesday’s lineup had at least one hit, six different players had at least one RBI, and six different players each had a home run. In the three-game series, Arizona was able to score 30 runs, which was a complete change of pace after Anaheim has shutout the Arizona offense the two previous games.

Cahill would give up nine hits and six runs in the winning effort. The only sore spot for the team after the three-game series, has been the performance of the pitching staff, which has given up an astounding 19 runs over the past couple of games.

The D-backs have a day off tomorrow before opening up a three-game series agains the Chicago Cubs (24-44) on Friday. This is a golden opportunity for the team to pick up a few games against one of the worst teams in the league.

Seattle struck first with a solo home run by Justin Smoak in the top of the first, to put the Mariners up 1-0. They added another run in the top of the third when Ichiro Suzuki scored on an RBI single by Kyle Seager.

The D-backs would respond in the bottom of the third when Aaron Hill hit a sacrifice fly to plate Willie Bloomquist, cutting the Seattle lead 2-1. The snakes would add two more runs when Paul Goldschmidt singled to center field, scoring Justin Upton and Jason Kubel. Arizona would plate two more runs on solo home runs by Gerardo Parra and Hill in the bottom of the fourth to put the team up 5-2.

Just as it seemed like the D-backs were pulling away, Seattle was able to battle back in an offensive explosion in the top of the fifth inning, thanks to two three-run home runs by Seager and Brendan Ryan, to take the lead 8-5.

Fortunately for the D-backs, their offense was just getting warmed up. Goldschmidt hit a home run to right field to get things started in the bottom of the fifth, cutting the lead to 8-6. Lyle Overbay followed with an RBI single to right-center field, plating Josh Bell. Bloomquist would tie things up later in the inning with an RBI single to center, scoring Parra. Miguel Montero would put the snakes up 9-8 in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI single to right field.

The Mariners showed a lot of fight in them, coming back in the top of the eighth inning when Ichiro would hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Ryan. They would take the lead in the top of the 10th inning when pinch-hitter Casper Wells smoked an RBI single to center field, plating Munenori Kawasaki and Dustin Ackley. Ichiro added his fourth hit of the night, and added another run by doubling down the left field line, scoring Wells.

With the loss, Hudson provided yet another disappointing performance, allowing ten hits and seven earned runs and picking up his third loss of the season. On a side, note the Arizona bullpen underperformed tonight, providing six innings of relief of Hudson, allowing five hits and five runs combined.

On a positive note, the team continued it’s hot streak at the plate, picking up 14 hits and nine runs with seven different batters picking up hits. They will need to continue that streak tomorrow as Trevor Cahill takes the hill tomorrow in an attempt to take the series win.
