PHOENIX -- Justin Upton kept his cool and was able to provide the spark the Arizona Diamondbacks needed. Upton had three hits, including a home run, and drove in four runs and the Diamondbacks rallied from a six-run deficit to beat the Houston Astros 11-9 on Tuesday night. "Ive been awful for a week now," Upton said. "I wasnt seeing the ball all that well but tonight I was seeing it better." Upton wasnt seeing eye-to-eye with home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor. He was discussing a pitch Bucknor called for a strike before Upton lined out to first base for the final out of the third inning. Upton slammed his helmet while walking away from the plate and later in the game dropped his head in his hands after a pitch to Chris Young. "I didnt think things were going our way and I got a little upset about it," Upton said. "These things happen." Arizona manager Kirk Gibson gave Upton credit for knowing where to draw the line to stay in the game. "I told him he had two choices," Gibson said. "Do what you need to do but dont get in a bad confrontation. We dont want to lose him for more than a game and who knows, maybe he can come back and win it for us." Gerardo Parra had his fourth career four-hit game, Miguel Montero doubled and had three RBIs and Willie Bloomquist added a two-run single for the Diamondbacks. Micah Owings (6-0) threw three innings of two-hit relief and allowed one run for the victory. He struck out four and added a single. J.J. Putz allowed a run and three hits in the ninth for his 27th save. "Just leave us where we were at, that was my focus," Owings said. Brian Bogusevic and Jimmy Paredes hit their first career home runs for the Astros, who have lost four of five. Wilton Lopez (2-5) allowed Uptons go-ahead two-run homer in an inning of relief. "There were a lot of positives because of the hits and runs but they were able to dig back into the game and keep on scoring," Astros manager Brad Mills said. The Diamondbacks scored eight runs in the fifth and sixth innings to overcome a 7-1 deficit, matching the largest rally in franchise history. "That game was exhausting," Gibson said with a slight smile. Parra, Owings and Bloomquist led off the fifth with consecutive singles to load the bases against Jordan Lyles. One out later Upton doubled off the wall in left, scoring Parra and Owings, and Montero followed with a two-run single to make it 7-5. "I thought I threw the ball where I wanted to for the most part but they happened to hit it over a couple of guys heads," Lyles said. "At the same time I cant give up a big lead like that making pitches or not. I cant let it happen." Bloomquist tied the game in the sixth with a one-out, two-run single and Upton homered to give the Diamondbacks a 9-7 lead. Paredes homered with two outs in the seventh to cut the lead to 9-8. Diamondbacks reliever David Hernandez let the first two batters reach and loaded the bases with two outs but struck out the side to escape the jam. Ryan Roberts and Kelly Johnson had RBI doubles in the eighth for Arizona. Jason Marquis struggled in his second straight start since being acquired by the Diamondbacks from Washington on July 30. Marquis allowed seven runs -- four earned -- and nine hits with two walks and two strikeouts over four innings. "Obviously things didnt turn out the way I wanted them to but the team battled," Marquis said. "I have to do a better job of putting batters away when Im in control of the count. Im not trying to put too much pressure on myself. I just want to go out there and pitch the way I have all year." Upton singled and scored on a double by Montero to give the Diamondbacks a 1-0 lead in the first. Houston tied the game on the second on three singles, the last a run-scoring infield hit by Humberto Quintero. The Astros added three in the third on Martinezs one-out homer, his second in as many nights, and Bogusevics two-run homer. Lee hit a two-run single in the fourth and Bogusevic doubled to left to extend Houstons lead to 7-1. Lyles allowed seven runs and 12 hits in five-plus innings, both career-highs. He struck out two. NOTES: The Diamondbacks have rallied from six-run deficits twice this season, both against Houston. After the game, the Astros optioned LHP Wesley Wright to Triple-A Oklahoma to make room for Wednesdays starting pitcher, RHP Henry Sosa, who will be recalled from Triple-A before the game. Marquis has a 12.38 ERA in two starts for Arizona. The Diamondbacks play their next 15 games against non-division opponents. Paredes and Bogusevic are the fifth set of teammates since 2005 and first Astros teammates to hit their first career homer in the same game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Diamondbacks RHP Josh Collmenter will be looking to end a two-game personal losing streak and win his second straight over the Astros on Wednesday night. Collmenter lasted just 2 1-3 innings in his last start Aug. 5 against Los Angeles, allowing six runs, eight hits and a walk, and has posted a 16.50 ERA in his past two starts.

"I think its minor, but well see," Greinke said. "I dont know exactly what it was, but it felt kind of like a cramp." Grienke was making his first spring start after saying he had "zero interest" making the trip for the Dodgers two regular-season games in Sydney, Australia, March 22-23 against Arizona. But now Geinke says hed like to start a game Sydney Cricket Ground. "If were going to be there, which obviously we are, then, yes, Id like to pitch over there," he said. "Im looking forward to flying over there. "No one wants me to say it this way, but in my vote, if we could go over there, my vote was not to," he said. "But more people wanted to go than not. So, now that we are going, I want to be there. I dont want to not go and have the rest of the team go and have to play and me sit here watching. I also dont want to go over there and watch. I want to go over there and play, since thats what weree doing.dddddddddddd" His initial comments, he said, were based on concerns that the trip would alter his spring training. "Its just the routine thing," he said. "I want to pitch good. I want to win games. When youre forced to do something youre not used to doing, its harder to be able to do it at the best of your abilities. Its still possible, but it makes it harder. "Ive never been real big on what peoples perceptions are of me," Grienke added. "The only goal is to try to win as many games as possible." Greinke left the mound after throwing two pitches to the Diamondbacks second hitter, Cliff Pennington. He retired Tony Campana on two pitches. Following the second pitch to Pennington, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly and Stan Conte, chief of the clubs medical staff, rushed to the mound. Greinke threw a couple of warmup pitches and then headed for the clubhouse. "I just was walking around the mound a little bit," Greinke said. "I didnt think I was going to need to come out this time, but after talking to them, thats what they decided. Id like to see how it feels later." cheap nfl Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys cheap nfl Jerseys wholesale Jerseys ' ' '
