Arizona dropped the wild, back-and-forth affair after rallying for two tying runs in the bottom of the eighth without recording a hit in the inning.
Starting pitcher TJ Nichols worked 5.2 innings and allowed four runs on nine hits. He struck out nine while issuing just one walk and did not factor into the decision.
