Diamondbacks rally to beat the Brewers 5-2

Pinch-hitter Tony Clark's two-run double highlighted a four-run eighth inning, and the Arizona Diamondbacks rallied for a 5-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night.

This time it was the Brewers' bullpen that failed to hold a lead. Milwaukee rallied for four runs in the seventh to beat Arizona on Thursday.

After reliever Carlos Villanueva (1-3) retired the first two batters in the eighth Friday, Conor Jackson walked and went to third on Mark Reynolds' single. Todd Coffey took over, but Justin Upton hit a slow roller in the grass down the third-base line letting Jackson score. Clark followed with his double that appeared to just catch the outside edge of the left-field line. Chris Snyder singled in Clark to make it 5-2.

Brewers manager Ken Macha rushed out to dispute the call with third base umpire Brian Gorman.

Tony Pena (3-0) pitched 1 2-3 innings for the victory. Chad Qualls worked the ninth for his fifth save in six chances.

Diamondbacks starter Jon Garland held the Brewers scoreless through six innings, striking out Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder and Mike Cameron with runners at first and second in the sixth. But the Brewers broke through in the seventh when Jason Kendall's groundout scored Craig Counsell, who led off with a double and took third on a single by Bill Hall.

Pena relieved Garland. Pinch-hitter Chris Duffy singled to left to score Hall as Milwaukee grabbed a 2-1 lead.

Milwaukee starter Manny Parra, a left-hander, dominated the eight right-handed batters in the Diamondbacks' lineup, except for switch-hitting Felipe Lopez.

Lopez singled in the sixth for his second hit and went to third on Eric Byrnes' double. Parra struck out Jackson, but then walked the next two batters to force in Lopez as Arizona went ahead 1-0. Chris Young flied out to end the inning.

Notes: Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin kept SS Augie Ojeda on the bench for the second consecutive game due to a groin strain. Jack Wilson started again for Ojeda. Wilson was selected from Triple-A Reno on April 26 to replace Stephen Drew (left hamstring) who went on the 15-day disabled list. ... Macha decided that SS J.J. Hardy, who is batting .156 and in a 1-for-20 slump, needed a couple of days off to regroup. Craig Counsell took his place in the lineup. ... Milwaukee starter Manny Parra failed in his fifth attempt to win his first game of the season.
