    Justin Upton lost the grip on his bat and sent it spinning into the stands.

    Usually, he might have let the lucky fan keep it as a souvenir. Only Upton's down to just a handful of bats after breaking quite a few on this road swing, so he had this one retrieved.

    Upton put it to good use, too, hitting a two-out, two-run shot off closer Rafael Betancourt in the ninth inning to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 9-7 on Thursday.
