Tracy, Diamondbacks get key hits, rally for win <h3>ARIZONA 5, SAN DIEGO 4</h3>PHOENIX (Ticker) -- Chad Tracy and the Arizona Diamondbacksknow how to come through in the clutch. Tracy hit a single to center field off Scott Linebrink in theeighth inning to plate Orlando Hudson as the Diamondbacksrallied for a 5-4 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Hudson hit a leadoff double and, one out later, Tracy reachedLinebrink (2-2) for the winning single for Arizona, which is9-for-18 with runners in scoring position over the first twogames of the series. Brandon Lyon (6-3) threw a scoreless eighth and All-Star closerJose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 30chances. Trailing 4-1, Arizona rallied in the seventh, loading the basesagainst reliever Heath Bell with none out and cashing in forthree runs. Bell gave up three consecutive singles and asacrifice fly to Stephen Drew that cut the deficit to 4-2. Jeff Salazar hit an opposite-field single to left and fellowrookie Miguel Montero hit an RBI single to left, plating Tracyto draw Arizona within a run. Mark Reynolds, another rookie,lifted a sacrifice fly to right off Cla Meredith to score TonyClark and forge a tie. Meredith avoided further damage by striking out rookie ChrisYoung looking with runners on the corners. It was a surprisingly bad outing for Bell, who surrendered threeruns and five hits after allowing just five runs in hisprevious 14 2/3 innings. The righthander saw his microscopic ERA rise to 1.78 for SanDiego, whose bullpen entered the game with a NationalLeague-leading 2.45 ERA.

San Diego jumped to a 4-0 lead on homers by rookie KevinKouzmanoff, Khalil Greene and Brian Giles. Greene set a new career high by hitting his 16th homer of theseason for San Diego, which has dropped three straight.

Brandon Lyon (6-3) threw a scoreless eighth and All-Star closerJose Valverde pitched a perfect ninth for his 27th save in 30chances. "Right now, we are getting hits at the right time," Tracy said."Right now, we look refreshed, we are hitting the ball andputting up runs with two outs and putting hits together. It'sgood." Trailing 4-1, Arizona rallied in the seventh, loading the basesagainst reliever Heath Bell with none out and cashing in forthree runs.

Jeff Salazar hit an opposite-field single to left and fellowrookie Miguel Montero hit an RBI single to left, plating Tracyto draw Arizona within a run. Mark Reynolds, another rookie,lifted a sacrifice fly to right off Cla Meredith to score TonyClark and forge a tie. "Big hits, no one was trying to do too much," Arizona managerBob Melvin said. "No one was tying to leave the park rightthere. They were pitching us away and we were taking what theywere giving us. "Good at-bats across the board. Once we started to string some<div class="pre">hits together, we had a good feeling we were going to win the</div>game." It was a surprisingly bad outing for Bell, who surrendered threeruns and five hits after allowing just five runs in hisprevious 14 2/3 innings. "They were just hitting the ball," Bell said. "Wherever I wasthrowing it, they were hitting it. I don't think I was up inthe zone. (Chris) Young dominated, but when I gave up all thosehits in a row, it gave them momentum." The righthander saw his microscopic ERA rise to 1.78 for SanDiego, whose bullpen entered the game with a majorleague-leading 2.45 ERA. The implosion by the bullpen spoiled a terrific effort by theAll-Star Young, who lowered his major league-leading ERA to1.97. The 6-10 righthander, who allowed Ichiro Suzuki'sinside-the-park homer in Tuesday's All-Star Game, retired thefirst 13 hitters he faced and allowed just one run and two hitswith eight strikeouts in six innings. San Diego manager Bud Black defended his decision to pull Young,who had thrown 96 pitches through six innings and was workingon three days' rest. "He had 96 pitches, he was on three days' rest and we had afresh bullpen, and if I'm not mistaken, the best bullpen in<div class="pre">baseball," Black said. "I didn't think it was necessary for</div>Chris to have to grind out over 100 pitches when we still have 21/2 months left in the season." The 28-year-old Young, who is unbeaten in his last 11 starts,allowed his first home run in 13 outings when Clark hit a soloblast to left in the fifth that made the score 4-1. Young said he agreed with Black's decision. "We still have the best bullpen in the league after tonight, andmore than luck, we will when the season finishes," Young said."Buddy made the right decision to take me out then. I feltgood and my slider came along because early, it wasn't thatgreat. But I felt good." San Diego jumped to a 4-0 lead on homers by rookie KevinKouzmanoff, Khalil Greene and Brian Giles. Greene set a new career high by hitting his 16th homer of theseason for San Diego, which has dropped three straight.
