PHOENIX --The Diamondbacks have turned their current homestand into a study in the art of the walkoff.Three wins this week, three walkoffs.Three lost leads, three recoveries.The latest came Friday, when Brandon Drury scored on a two-out wild pitch after doubling with one out and taking third on a groundout. Drury broke for home when Blake Woods first pitch to Juan Segura was in the dirt.The play wasnt close, and the result wasnt new.Drury hit a walkout sacrifice fly in a 10-9 victory over Altanta on Wednesday, after the Braves tied the game with a four-run rally in the ninth inning.Paul Goldschmidt hit a walkout homer in the ninth inning for a 9-8 victory Monday, the first game of the seven-game homestand, after Freddie Freeman tied the game with a homer in the top of the inning.Cincinnati will attempt to break the trend in the second game of a three-game series Saturday evening, when right-hander Anthony DeSclafani opposes Zack Godley at Chase Field.Any time you pick our teammates up and help the team win games, thats a really good feeling all the way around, Drury said. You have to keep battling and pick your teammates up. Thats what the name of the game is, and were going to keep on do that. I do feel like things are keep turning and we are going to play really good baseball.Arizona has won eight of 13 and 12 of 19 after falling 22 games below .500 the first week of August.Arizona welcomed the return of center fielder A.J. Pollock on Friday. Pollock, an All-Star in 2015, had been on the disabled list after re-fracturing his right elbow in an exhibition game three days before the start of the regular season. He was activated Friday and went 0-for-5, although his slow grounder to second base in the 10th inning drove in Phil Gosselin to tie the game at 3, forcing another inning.Its like opening day for me, Pollock said. You have to get all of the first stuff out of the way. It was good to be out there.Pollock received nice ovations each time he batted, and he made a stretching catch to take extra-bases away from Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips on a long fly to right-center field for the second out of the fourth inning.I felt good out there, Pollock said. Physically, it is not an issue any more. It is good to be out there with the team, and to get this win is huge.Cincinnati got another strong outing Friday from left-hander Brandon Finnegan, who struck out a career high 12 in six innings. He struck out the side in the first and fifth innings, and he gave up only three hits. Finnegan struck out eight and gave up one hit in seven scoreless innings in his previous start against the Dodgers.Everything was working for me and I was hitting spots, Finnegan said. It was a good night.Arizona kept Cincinnatis hottest bat, Joey Votto, at arms length in the first game of the series. Votto was 1-for-3 with a single and three walks (two intentional). Arizona intentionally walked him with runners on first and third and two outs in the ninth inning to bring up Adam Duvall with the game tied at 2. Duvall flew out to deep center.Votto was walked with a runner on second base and two outs in the 11th to get to the pitchers spot in the order, and the Reds were unable to capitalize that time either.Votto hit .413 in July and is hitting .418 with 22 RBI in August. He is attempting to become the first major leaguer since 2010 to hit .400 in consecutive months since Josh Hamilton hit .454 in June and .418 in July for Texas in 2010. Javon Hargrave Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead.

ST. LOUIS -- Carter Hutton did all the important work in the third period of the Blues win Saturday night.Hutton made 33 saves, including 15 in the final period when his teammates did not record a shot on goal, to help St. Louis beat the New York Rangers 3-2.Coach Ken Hitchcock liked what he saw from his new backup goalie, brought into spell Jake Allen after St. Louis traded away Brian Elliott over the summer. Allen and Elliott formed an outstanding tandem for the Blues last season.The goalie was outstanding there in the third period, Hitchcock said. He won us the game, which was great. Whether it was three games in four nights or the injuries there that depleted us, we needed our goalie there and he came through for us.In the third period we were running on fumes and we needed our goalie.Vladimir Tarasenko had a goal and an assist for St. Louis. Tarasenko has three goals in three games for the Blues after netting 40 last season.St. Louis has begun the season with three straight wins for the fourth time. St. Louis also started 3-0-0 in 1969-70, 1993-94 and 2013-14.Hutton got his first win and made numerous tough saves in his first game with St. Louis. He signed to a two-year, $2.25 million free agent contract on July 1.Facing a barrage in the third period did not bother Hutton.You just battle, Hutton said. Just compete on everything. They got their chances and we were able to hold them off. Youre just in the moment. You know about the blood, sweat and tears that goes into this so youre in the mindset to just keep competing.The Rangers outshot St. Louis 35-18, with New Yorks Henrik Lundqvist making 15 saves.We created quite a few opportunities in the third and we should have been able to tie it up but their goaltender made the difference, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said.The Blues scored quickly, taking a 1-0 lead just 1:13 into the game. Colton Parayko blocked a shot by J.T. Miller, then controlled the puck and fed Tarasenko at the blue line. His wrist shot from the low side of the left faceoff circle easily beat Lundqvist.Tarasenko deflected attention from himself to Hutton.Our goalie played great. Im happy with this win and for us to keep going, Tarasenko said. We see him in practice every day. Were lucky to have two good goalies.Lundqvist called Tarasenko one of the leagues best.Obviously the way the game started, it was tough to see that guy (Tarasenko) come down on a breakaway, Lundqvist said. I think hes one of the best in the league on the breakaway the way he shoots the puck. Hes so accurate and so hard. You would like to have a couple shots before you face thaat kind of breakaway.ddddddddddddhe Rangers tied it at 5:25 when Chris Kreider found a loose puck just outside the crease and knocked it past Hutton. It was Kreiders second goal this season. He is the only Ranger who recorded at least 20 goals in each of the last two seasons.Paul Stastny poked in a rebound of a shot by Robby Fabbri a 17:32, giving the Blues a 2-1 lead. It was the 100th point of Stastnys career.The Rangers went the last 11:40 of the first period without a shot on goal.Each team scored in the second period.A power-play goal gave St. Louis a 3-1 lead. Alex Pietrangelo got a pass from Stastny in the corner and blasted in a slap shot from the faceoff circle at 2:28 of the second period. Tarasenko also assisted on the goal.New York was able to kill off four other St. Louis power-play opportunities. The Rangers were 0 for 2 on the power play.Today comes down to special teams. We had a couple late power-play chances and they get one on theirs and thats the difference in a one-goal game, New York captain Ryan McDonagh said.Just 30 seconds later, the Rangers cut the lead to 3-2. With Scottie Upshall all over him, Mika Zibanejad scored on a backhander when Hutton failed to seal off space by the post.That was definitely not a good goal, right? Hutton said. Thats hockey. Whats done is done and I move on.The Blues had three players leave the game with upper body injuries. Center Kyle Brodziak left in the first period and center Jori Lehtera and defenseman Carl Gunnarsson both exited in the second period.Hitchcock gave no further update on the injuries, saying more information would come Monday. The players have a day off Sunday.New York defenseman Dan Girardi also left in the second period and did not return.Hes got a hip flexor and will know the severity tomorrow but at this time I would say hes a little bit more than day to day, Vigneault said.Game notes The Rangers were without Kevin Klein (back), who remains day to day. ...
