D-backs walk off in 12th after LA rallies from 6 down

PHOENIX — The D-backs blew a six-run lead, fell behind, rallied with a pair of runs in the eighth to tie, then walked off with a wild 10-9 win over the Dodgers on Brandon Drury’s RBI single with two out in the bottom of the 12th inning on Sunday. The loss, sustained by the Dodgers’ ninth pitcher, Ross Stripling, left their magic number to win the division at nine as the Giants also lost.

Drury, who was 4-for-5 with two walks, bounced his single into left field to score Paul Goldschmidt, who outhustled Dodgers center fielder Yasiel Puig for a double with two out and none on to set up the win. Goldschmidt, a Dodger tormentor in years past, was 1-for-17 in the series before the hit.

On his double, Goldschmidt reached a top speed of 19.76 mph, as clocked by Statcast™. He went from home to second base in 8.18 seconds, his fifth fastest time of the season. Goldschmidt made it from first to second in 3.45 seconds, as his first step out of the batter’s box came in 0.299 seconds.

“Credit to Goldschmidt, 0-for-5 and still running out singles up the middle and turns it into a double,” said Stripling. “I walked the lefty [Jake Lamb, intentionally] to get to Drury, who’s had a good day, get to 1-1, try to throw a heater up and it stays middle-middle and he pulled it through the 6-hole and that was that.”

“Just being a young player and having those situations for the first time, sometimes you try to do too much,” said Drury, who recorded his third career walk-off plate appearance and second game-winning hit. “To come through in those situations and get the job done and come through and help the team win the game, I think just to do that’s huge. Not that I didn’t believe I could before, but now that you’ve done it, I just feel like you have a little more confidence in those situations.”

Pinch-hitter Adrian Gonzalez’s three-run double — his first pinch-hit since 2013 — off Edwin Escobar was the third double of the Dodgers’ sixth-inning, six-run rally that tied the game at 7. Howie Kendrick’s two-run double off Enrique …
