Over the next several innings, Arizona chipped away at the big lead before finally tying it at 6 in the eighth and adding two runs in the ninth to shock the home team 8-6.

Juan Miranda. Stephen Drew. Kelly Johnson. Wily Mo Pena.

But on this patriotic day, each came through for their team, the Arizona Diamondbacks.
