    Bench coach Alan Trammell reminded manager Kirk Gibson and the rest of the Diamondbacks that just because Milwaukee led 6-1 on an unlikely grand slam by pitcher Shaun Marcum, the game was far from over.

    "That's what you have to do to your mind in those situations. You have to say stupid stuff like that," Gibson said. "It doesn't happen very often, but why not believe it? I know I heard it."

    Chris Young drove in the go-ahead run with a two-out single in the ninth and the Diamondbacks used a stellar effort by the bullpen to beat the slumping Milwaukee Brewers 8-6 on Monday.
