Ojeda's sac fly lifts D'backs over Astros 4-3
By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer PHOENIX (AP) -- Pinch hitter Augie Ojeda hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks to their eighth win in nine games, 4-3 over the Houston Astros on Friday night. Daniel Hudson pitched six effective innings, Aaron Heilman (5-5) allowed a hit in the eighth and Juan Gutierrez worked the ninth for his seventh save. Adam LaRoche drove in two runs with a double in the first inning and a single in the fifth to reach 89 RBIs, eclipsing Tony Clark's 2005 team record for a first baseman by two. Houston starter Brett Myers extended his streak of lasting at least six innings to 28 games. Arizona pulled out the win in the eighth when Ojeda hit a ball to center off Wilton Lopez (5-1) that was just deep enough to score Ryan Roberts from third.
