CINCINNATI (AP) — Josh VanMeter hit a tying three-run homer in the ninth inning against his former team, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Reds 8-5 in 10 innings for their second win of the day.
In the conclusion of Tuesday’s night’s suspended game, Arizona held on for a 5-4 victory.
Stefan Crichton pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his second save.
The Diamondbacks trailed 3-0 heading to the ninth in the regularly scheduled contest. But Amir Garrett issued two walks before VanMeter drove a 2-2 pitch deep to right for his first homer of the season.
Arizona then broke it open with five runs in the 10th.

The Indians postponed Wednesday night’s game against the Chicago White Sox because of snow and cold weather.
Up for four inches of snow fell overnight in the Cleveland area, and there were more than two inches on the infield tarp at Progressive Field when then game was called about five hours before the first scheduled pitch.
