Pinch hitter Orlando Hudson homered with two on
to cap a five-run eighth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks ended
a four-game losing streak by rallying to beat Baltimore 7-to-3. The
Orioles have lost six straight and eleven of 13.
Chris Snyder also homered in the eighth for the Diamondbacks,
who started the inning trailing 3-to-0. Arizona then chased starter
Erik Bedard before completing the comeback against a beleaguered
Orioles bullpen that right now can't be counted on for anything.
Bedard took a four-hitter into the eighth, but was replaced by
Chad Bradford after yielding Snyder's homer. Bradford allowed a
couple of hits before being replaced by Todd Williams, who gave up
Hudson's homer. Williams is 0-and-2.
Doug Slaten got the win in relief for the Diamondbacks. He's
3-and-0.
