PHOENIX -- Ryan Roberts hit a grand slam, Chris Young had the first two-homer game in Arizonas post-season history and Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 10-6 Wednesday night to force Game 5 in the NL division series.
cheap jerseys . A day after rolling over the Brewers 8-1, the Diamondbacks struck quickly and often in Game 4, scoring five runs in the first inning off Randy Wolf. The Diamondbacks became the second team -- with the 1977 Dodgers -- to hit grand slams in consecutive playoff games. Arizona evened the series at 2-2 and sent it back to Milwaukee for the decisive game Friday. It will be a rematch of Game 1 between 21-game winner Ian Kennedy of the Diamondbacks and fellow right-hander Yovani Gallardo. Written off by many after being outscored 13-5 in the first two games, baseballs best rally team -- 48 comeback wins during the regular season -- has put itself in position to become just the eighth team overall to win a best-of-five series after trailing 0-2. Young had three RBIs and Aaron Hill hit a solo homer for Arizonas first four-homer game in the post-season. Pinch hitter Collin Cowgill added a two-run single and the bullpen held on after a less-than-crisp outing by starter Joe Saunders to keep Milwaukee from winning a post-season series for the first time since reaching the 1982 World Series. The NL West champion Diamondbacks punctuated their worst-to-first finish with grand slams in their final two home games of the regular season, then kept slamming em at Chase Field in the playoffs. Paul Goldschmidt was the star in Game 3, becoming the third rookie ever to hit a grand slam in the playoffs. He had the crowd buzzing when he strode to the plate against Wolf with the bases loaded in the first inning. He couldnt come, through; Wolf struck him out looking. Roberts sure did, though, lining his second grand slam in four home games over the wall in left. The shot had the crowd roaring and got his teammates out of the dugout doing "The Snake," a Miguel Montero-created move that involves cupping the right hand and making a striking motion -- like, well, a snake head. Roberts drive made Arizona the first team in major league history to hit grand slams in four straight home games (regular and post-season), according to STATS LLC and the SABR home run log. Young followed with a shot to give the Diamondbacks back-to-back homers for the first time in their post-season history, then celebrated with a snake strike after putting Arizona up 5-1. Wolf, 0-2 with a 6.08 earne-run average in two starts against Arizona during the regular season, lasted just two more innings after allowing seven runs on eight hits. Cowgill pushed Arizona up 7-3 with a two-run single in the third, Hill hit his solo homer in the sixth and Young lifted a two-run shot in the seventh. Carlos Gomez hit a two-run homer off David Hernandez in the eighth to cut Arizonas lead to 10-6, but it was too late for the Brewers -- thanks to "The Snake." NOTES: With a solo homer in Game 1 and a grand slam in Game 2, Goldschmidt joined Shane Spencer (Yankees, 1998) to hit homers in his first two post-season games, according to information provided to the Diamondbacks by the Elias Sports Bureau. ... Despite a cool night outside -- 79 degrees at game time -- the roof at Chase Field remained closed. ... Ron Cey and Dusty Baker hit grand slams for the Dodgers in games 1-and-2 of the 1977 NLCS. ... The most recent team to rally from an 0-2 deficit in a best-of-five series was Boston against Oakland in the 2003 ALDS.
