Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 6

At Phoenix, pinch-hitter Chris Snyder drove in Chris Young with a sacrifice fly in the 16th inning to lift Arizona over Colorado.

Young led off the 16th with a bloop single to right off Jeremy Affeldt (3-1). He advanced to second on Chad Tracy's sacrifice bunt and stole third. Affeldt intentionally walked Johnny Estrada before Snyder, the 25th player used by Arizona, lifted a high fly ball deep to right and Young scored easily.

Jorge Julio (2-4), the Diamondbacks' team record 10th pitcher, threw a perfect 16th inning to earn the win.

Affeldt (3-1) pitched 2 2-3 innings, allowing one run and four hits with three walks, two intentional.

Arizona loaded the bases against Affeldt in the 14th and 15th inning but couldn't score. Estrada hit into an inning-ending double play in the 14th and Andy Green popped out to end the 15th.
